CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA - AUGUST 21: Aaron Rodgers #8 of the Pittsburgh Steelers and head coach Mike Tomlin walk off the field after a NFL Preseason 2025 game against the Carolina Panthers at Bank of America Stadium on August 21, 2025 in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Overview

  • Meyers requested a trade after extension talks stalled, but NFL Network reported the Raiders told him they have no plans to move him.
  • ESPN’s Adam Schefter said Las Vegas rebuffed at least one inquiry that sought the team to retain part of Meyers’ remaining cap charge and has no intention of trading him.
  • Hours after the request surfaced, the Raiders agreed to bring back Amari Cooper on a one-year contract, a depth move reporters noted was independent of Meyers’ status.
  • Meyers enters the final season of a three-year, $33 million deal at roughly $10.5–$10.76 million in 2025 after posting 87 catches for 1,027 yards last year, with Pro Football Focus crediting him with zero drops on 85-plus targets.
  • Potential suitors are being evaluated by media and team insiders — including the Steelers, Jets and Vikings — as Las Vegas weighs offers near roster cutdowns and a Sept. 7 opener.
