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.
