Player Choice Tipped Meyers Trade After Steelers Matched Jaguars’ Offer

New reporting points to comparable bids with player choice steering outcomes, leaving Pittsburgh to pivot.

Overview

  • The Raiders traded Jakobi Meyers to the Jaguars for 2026 fourth- and sixth-round picks in a deal finalized hours before the deadline.
  • Multiple reports say Pittsburgh offered Las Vegas the same fourth- and sixth-round package, and the Raiders allowed Meyers to choose Jacksonville.
  • A parallel report says the Saints honored Rashid Shaheed’s preference to join Seattle, accepting a Steelers-matching offer as he sought to reunite with offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak.
  • Some outlets questioned whether the Steelers controlled the specific sixth-round pick cited in their reported bid, raising comparability concerns.
  • Pittsburgh pursued additional receiver options, including an inquiry on Jaylen Waddle, and signed Marquez Valdes-Scantling as a contingency move.
