Overview

  • ESPN’s Rich Cimini flagged Meyers as a Jets target after the receiver requested a trade from the Raiders on August 25.
  • The Raiders have shown no inclination to deal the 28-year-old, according to multiple reports.
  • Meyers enters the final year of his contract at $10.5 million and is seeking an extension that could top $20 million annually, per reporting.
  • Reporters discussing scenarios have floated a potential cost in the second- to third-round pick range, with some media proposals suggesting lower returns.
  • The veteran is coming off a 2024 career best of 87 catches for 1,027 yards and four touchdowns with no credited drops, and he has ties to Jets coach Scott Turner from Las Vegas.
