Overview
- On Sunday the Raiders sent Jordan Meredith and a 2029 seventh-round pick to the New York Jets in exchange for a 2027 sixth-round pick.
- The Jets will assume Meredith’s roughly $3.52 million 2026 salary, giving them a low-cost veteran backup at center and guard.
- Meredith has started 19 games over the past two seasons and has logged snaps at center, left guard and right guard, which gives New York positional flexibility behind starter Josh Myers.
- Las Vegas made Meredith expendable after signing Tyler Linderbaum this offseason and cleared about $3.5 million in cap space by moving him.
- The trade arrived on roster cutdown day as a common, low-cost fix for immediate depth needs and addresses New York’s preseason concerns about the backup center spot.
