Overview

  • NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero report that Meyers met with team executives and asked to be traded after extension talks stalled.
  • The Raiders told Meyers they have no plans to trade him, citing his value with the regular season approaching.
  • Meyers is entering the final year of his deal at roughly $10.5–$10.76 million after a 2024 career high of 87 catches for 1,027 yards and four touchdowns.
  • Coverage has linked the Steelers as a potential suitor, though any interest remains speculative with Las Vegas unwilling to deal him.
  • The standoff raises questions about next steps, including whether negotiations resume or leverage escalates, with Geno Smith set to lead the Raiders’ offense.
