Jakobi Meyers requested a trade from the Las Vegas Raiders after contract extension talks stalled and the team declined the request, citing his value. Meyers recorded 87 catches for 1,027 yards and four touchdowns last season, his first 1,000-yard campaign. He is in the final year of a three-year, $33 million contract signed in 2023 and would reach free agency next year without an extension. Meyers spent four seasons with New England and found success in Josh McDaniels's offense. The Patriots revamped their receiving corps this offseason, adding Stefon Diggs, Mack Hollins, and rookie Kyle Williams.
Meyers spent the first four seasons of his career with the Patriots before signing with the Raiders in 2023. The 6-foot-2, 195-pound pass catcher posted his first 1,000 yard season last year. He hauled in 87 catches for 1,027 yards and four touchdowns. Contract negotiations between Meyers and the team did not go as planned, according to the report. Meyers is in the final year of the three-year, $33 million deal he signed with Las Vegas in 2023.
Meyers, 28, is the last Patriots receiver to top 800 yards in a season. He had success in New England playing in Josh McDaniels's offense. Earlier this month, Patriots executive Eliot Wolf said he was talking to all 31 teams keeping an eye out for deals that could help the team improve. The Patriots overhauled their receiving corps during the offseason, signing Stefon Diggs and Mack Hollins, along with drafting Kyle Williams after years of starving for talent at the position.
