Overview
- The trade was completed during the final roster cutdowns on Sunday, with the Jets announcing the acquisition and Ian Rapoport reporting the terms.
- New York sent a 2027 sixth-round pick to Las Vegas and received Meredith plus a 2029 seventh-round pick in return.
- The Jets will carry Meredith’s roughly $3.5 million 2026 salary, relieving the Raiders of that cap charge.
- Meredith, a 28-year-old undrafted free agent who has played in about 45 games with roughly 19–20 starts, is expected to serve as versatile interior depth behind starting center Josh Myers rather than as an immediate starter.
- Las Vegas moved Meredith after signing Tyler Linderbaum to shore up its center spot and gained late-round draft capital, while the Jets gain insurance for snapping and interior-line issues and reunite Meredith with former Raiders teammates such as Geno Smith and Dylan Parham.
