Overview

  • Meyers asked to be traded after failed extension negotiations, but team officials told NFL Network and the AP they have no plans to move him.
  • Meyers enters the final year of his three-year deal at about $10.76 million following a 2024 season with 87 catches, 1,027 yards and four touchdowns, with no drops per PFF.
  • Hours after the request surfaced, the Raiders reached a one-year agreement with veteran Amari Cooper to reinforce a thin receiver group.
  • Analysts have floated the Steelers, Patriots, 49ers and Vikings as possible suitors if Las Vegas reconsiders, though no trade talks have been reported.
  • Meyers played in preseason games and has not indicated he will sit out, with roster cutdown decisions adding short-term pressure on roster planning.
