Raiders Hold Line on Jakobi Meyers After Trade Request as Amari Cooper Returns on One-Year Deal

The team has declined proposals that required retaining his salary, signaling Meyers is expected to stay for now.

Overview

  • Meyers formally requested a trade after contract talks stalled, entering the final season of a three-year, $33 million deal.
  • Las Vegas has told reporters it has no plans to trade him, and ESPN reports the Raiders rejected at least one offer that asked them to keep part of his remaining cap charge.
  • Within hours of the request becoming public, the Raiders agreed to a one-year contract with Amari Cooper, who said he has "unfinished business" in his return.
  • Sporting News reports Cooper’s deal is worth $3.5 million with a maximum value of $6 million, and local reporting describes the signing as a depth move separate from Meyers’ status.
  • Meyers is coming off a career-best 2024 with 87 receptions for 1,027 yards and four touchdowns, and he was the only NFL receiver with at least 85 targets and no drops per Pro Football Focus.
