Nov. 4 (UPI) — The Las Vegas Raiders agreed to trade wide receiver Jakobi Meyes to the Jacksonville Jaguars for fourth- and sixth-round picks in the 2026 NFL Draft, a league source told UPI on Tuesday.
Meyers, who requested a trade this off-season, totaled 352 yards on 33 catches through the first seven games of his 2025 season. The seven-year veteran logged 426 catches for 4,944 yards and 22 total touchdowns through his first 98 appearances in the NFL.
Meyers, who spent his first four seasons with the New England Patriots, would join a Jaguars wide receivers room that includes Brian Thomas Jr. and Travis Hunter Jr.
The Jaguars placed Hunter on injured reserve last week because of a knee injury. Thomas sustained an ankle injury in the fourth quarter of the Jaguars’ 30-29 win over the Raiders on Sunday in Las Vegas.
Parker Washington, Dyami Brown, Tim Patrick and Austin Trammell are among the other wide receivers on the Jaguars’ roster. Meyers’ departure will leave the Raiders with Jack Bech, Tre Tucker, Tyler Lockett, Alex Bachman and Dont’e Thornton Jr. at wide receiver. The Raiders signed Lockett last week.
Meyers, 28, signed a three-year, $33 million contract with the Raiders in 2023, but later restructured that deal. He is to become a free agent this off-season.
The Raiders (2-6) will take on the Denver Broncos (7-2) at 8:15 p.m. EST Thursday in Denver. The Jaguars (5-3) will battle the Houston Texans (3-5) at 1 p.m. Sunday in Houston.
