Overview

  • Las Vegas traded Meyers to Jacksonville for 2026 fourth- and sixth-round picks shortly before the Nov. 4 cutoff.
  • Meyers had requested a trade in August and is in the final year of his deal, prompting the 2-6 Raiders to take draft assets.
  • The veteran possession receiver is expected to complement Brian Thomas Jr. and steady a Jaguars receiving corps seeking consistency.
  • The move reflected classic deadline dynamics, with playoff hopefuls buying immediate help and struggling teams selling expiring contracts.
  • Elsewhere, the Jets reshaped draft capital by sending Sauce Gardner to the Colts for two first-rounders and WR Adonai Mitchell, and Quinnen Williams to the Cowboys for a 2027 first, a 2026 second and DT Mazi Smith.
