Jaguars Land Jakobi Meyers From Raiders for 2026 Fourth- and Sixth-Round Picks

Jacksonville fills a pressing receiver need created by injuries by acquiring a proven producer on an expiring deal.

Overview

  • The trade was completed on NFL deadline day, with Jacksonville sending 2026 fourth- and sixth-round selections to Las Vegas, according to multiple reports.
  • Meyers, who requested a move after extension talks stalled, is in the final year of a three-year, $33 million contract and is set to hit free agency in 2026.
  • The Jaguars acted after placing rookie Travis Hunter on injured reserve and seeing Brian Thomas Jr. suffer an ankle injury, positioning Meyers for an immediate role in the rotation.
  • Pittsburgh pursued Meyers and the Bills were also linked, and Jacksonville is sending the higher of its two fourth-rounders, per reports.
  • A steady producer with four straight 800-plus-yard seasons, including 1,027 yards in 2024, Meyers has 33 receptions for 352 yards through seven games this year as the Raiders add to a 2026 draft haul now at 10 picks.
