Jaguars Acquire Jakobi Meyers From Raiders at Trade Deadline

The move gives Trevor Lawrence a dependable target after injuries thinned Jacksonville’s receiving corps.

Overview

  • Jacksonville landed Meyers from Las Vegas for 2026 fourth- and sixth-round picks in a deal finalized just before the Nov. 4 deadline.
  • Meyers, who topped 1,000 receiving yards in 2024, fills a possession-receiver need for a 5-3 Jaguars team missing Travis Hunter on injured reserve.
  • The veteran enters on an expiring three-year, $33 million contract after publicly requesting a trade and seeking an extension that did not materialize.
  • Las Vegas, 2-6, converted an unsettled starter into mid-round draft capital and cleared snaps for rookies Dont'e Thornton and Jack Bech.
  • Multiple outlets reported other suitors, including the Steelers and Bills, which helped set the price during an especially active deadline day.
