Overview

  • Jakobi Meyers confirmed he asked out and the Raiders refused, saying, “I asked, they said no,” as he keeps practicing for Sunday’s opener at New England.
  • Las Vegas says it values Meyers and has no current plans to trade him, even after extension talks stalled.
  • Meyers is set to earn about $10.5 million in 2025 after a career-best 87 catches for 1,027 yards and four touchdowns last season.
  • Coverage differs on whether he formally rescinded the request, though he has emphasized playing for his teammates and staying ready.
  • Roster calculus factors include rookie receivers Jack Bech and Dont’e Thornton Jr., reported veteran Amari Cooper’s abrupt retirement, and outside trade speculation tying teams such as the Jets and Browns to potential interest.
