Overview

  • Meyers met with team leadership and requested a trade after extension talks stalled, according to NFL Network reporting echoed by multiple outlets.
  • The Raiders told reporters they do not intend to trade Meyers, citing his importance to the offense as the season approaches.
  • Hours after the request surfaced, Las Vegas agreed to a one-year deal with veteran wideout Amari Cooper, adding experienced depth to a thin receiver group.
  • Meyers is entering the final year of his three-year, $33 million contract at roughly $10.5–$10.76 million and is coming off a career-best 87 catches for 1,027 yards in 2024, with no drops on at least 85 targets per PFF.
  • No deal is in place and discussions are in an early phase, with media speculation linking possible suitors such as the Patriots and Steelers and, in some analyses, the Giants, 49ers and Vikings.
