JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Jakobi Meyers has worn No. 16 his entire seven-year NFL career, but he knew that wasn't going to be the case after being traded to the Jacksonville Jaguars. That number belongs to quarterback Trevor Lawrence, which is why Meyers didn't even ask. "I just understood the price tag that would've came with it, and I wasn't trying to take out another mortgage," he said. "I'm good where I'm at."

The Las Vegas Raiders are trading wide receiver Jakobi Meyers to the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for fourth- and sixth-round picks, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Tuesday. Multiple teams, including the Pittsburgh Steelers, had shown interest in Meyers, who is scheduled to become a free agent after his contract expires this season. Meyers had said multiple times this season that he wants to be traded, including last week when he told reporters that he wants "to be in a good spot."

"Jakobi got more than Brock did," coach Pete Carroll said. "[Meyers] bounced back pretty well, so we're very hopeful that he'll be available. Brock got his first workout here in a while. His workouts have been great during the week. I watched him when he was working with the trainers, and he's really doing good. So, we're really close on him."

"I don't even know, to be honest," Meyers said Wednesday. "...I ain't tripping. If they don't, I'm gonna be good regardless."
