Jakobi Meyers Reiterates Trade Request as Raiders Weigh Offers Before Deadline

Las Vegas is entertaining offers for the receiver ahead of the Nov. 4 deadline.

Overview

  • Jakobi Meyers confirmed he still wants out of Las Vegas, telling reporters, “Oh, for sure,” while emphasizing he will continue to play professionally.
  • The Raiders are now open to moving Meyers and prefer to receive defensive linemen or cornerbacks in return, according to The Athletic.
  • ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported the Steelers have checked on wide receiver options and view Meyers as one possibility as they search for help opposite DK Metcalf.
  • Analysts have floated Tampa Bay as a plausible destination due to front-office ties and receiver injuries, although other reporting questions whether the Buccaneers will buy at the deadline.
  • Meyers has 29 catches for 329 yards through six games for the 2-5 Raiders, and Tre Tucker’s emergence has lessened the team’s reliance on him.
