Before the season, Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers requested a trade after his push for an extension did not result in a new deal. While Meyers rescinded the trade ask soon after and began his third Raiders season, teams have still shown interest in the veteran starter.
With the Raiders freefalling — a putrid showing in Kansas City the latest poor effort from Las Vegas — they have become more open to moving Meyers in his contract year. Offering a candid take on the situation Tuesday, Meyers said he still welcomes a change of scenery.
Meyers said “for sure” when asked if he wants to be traded. He remains tied to a three-year, $33M deal authorized during Josh McDaniels’ second and final offseason running the show.
Entering the season as Las Vegas’ No. 1 receiver, Meyers wanted an update from a deal that pays him less than the going rate for that role. Meyers is the NFL’s 34th-highest-paid receiver.
