Reports: Veteran WRs Chose Jaguars, Seahawks Over Steelers Despite Matching Offers

Local reporting portrays the outcomes as sellers deferring to player choice.

Overview

  • Jakobi Meyers was traded from the Raiders to the Jaguars for 2026 fourth- and sixth-round picks, a deal completed at the deadline.
  • Multiple reporters say Pittsburgh submitted an equivalent fourth- and sixth-round proposal for Meyers, with Las Vegas letting the receiver select Jacksonville.
  • Chris Halicke reports the Steelers matched Seattle’s fourth- and fifth-round offer for Rashid Shaheed, and New Orleans accepted Seattle’s package based on the player’s preference.
  • Shaheed’s reported choice was tied to a reunion with Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, whom he worked with in New Orleans.
  • Some outlets note Pittsburgh lacks a 2026 or 2027 sixth-rounder, raising questions about the exact mechanics of the alleged identical offer for Meyers.
