Raiders willing to keep Meyers despite request
"Even though Jakobi Meyers has requested a trade, the Las Vegas Raiders would deal the veteran wide receiver only if they felt they were getting strong value in return, sources told ESPN. With the NFL trade deadline approaching, a trade offer of that nature has not materialized, according to sources. Meyers would improve multiple offenses across the league, and there is still over a week before the Nov. 4 deadline."
"[The Raiders] know how I feel," Meyers said Tuesday. "It's no reason for me to keep going back crying to them, 'Can you get me out of here?' "If you move me, you move me. But in the meantime, I got some [teammates] that I care about next to me, so I'm trying to make sure I'm being my best self for them."
Jakobi Meyers has requested a trade but the Las Vegas Raiders will move him only for strong return value and are willing to carry him through the season if needed. No suitable trade offer had materialized as the Nov. 4 deadline approached. Teams expressing strong interest include the Pittsburgh Steelers, Buffalo Bills and Denver Broncos. Meyers has 29 catches for 329 yards in six games, missed one game with knee and toe injuries, and is expected to be available after the Raiders' Week 9 bye. Meyers said he wants to be in a good spot and has not pursued new contract talks.
