But with his request not being granted, Meyers is poised to command a major role in Las Vegas’ offense throughout the 2025 campaign.</p><p>That was certainly true in Week 1. Meyers led the team with eight receptions, gaining 97 yards in the Raiders’ 20-13 victory over the New England Patriots. While celebrating the win, it seemed <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/las-vegas-raiders/raiders-news-jakobi-meyers-reaction-failed-trade-request">as if the trade request was never made in the first place</a>.</p><p>Of course, a close victory heals some wounds. But for Meyers, the wide receiver <a href="https://x.com/TomPelissero/status/1964803345316762063" rel="noopener">admits he has found</a> his, “happy place,” via Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network.</p><p>“I just like being on the field with my guys. That’s really my happy place,” Meyers said. “Whenever I’m on the field I’m going to perform to the best of my abilities. It was just fun being with the guys. I love my boys, it was a great game with them today.”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">“I just like being on the field with my guys, man.

While there are clearly things to work on, Meyers see the vision when it comes to Smith.</p><p>That’ll need to be the case throughout the entire 2025 season. Tight end Brock Bowers will continue to be the top pass catcher, as evident by his team-leading 103 yards in Week 1. But when Smith looks downfield to pass, Meyers will continue to be one of his most crucial targets.</p><p>It’ll take more than just one win to fully rebuild the relationship between the Raiders and Meyers.

The run game has been a problem the last few years, but the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/las-vegas-raiders/raiders-news-ashton-jeanty-2025-nfl-draft">Raiders drafted Ashton Jeanty</a> out of Boise State to fix that issue. Tight end <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/las-vegas-raiders/raiders-news-brock-bowers-snatches-nfl-rookie-record-malik-nabers-week-18">Brock Bowers set NFL rookie records</a> last season and will provide a clear target for newly acquired quarterback Geno Smith. But the unexpected question mark is at wide receiver.</p><p>The team’s leading receiver last year, Jakobi Meyers, surprisingly requested a trade recently. That prompted the Raiders to bring back Amari Cooper in free agency.</p><p>On Wednesday, Meyers <a href="https://www.nfl.com/news/jakobi-meyers-ready-to-play-week-1-for-raiders-following-trade-request-i-asked-they-said-no" rel="noopener">addressed the elephant in the room</a>, according to NFL.com.</p><p>“I asked, they said no. That’s where that stopped,” Meyers said. “I’m just going to keep doing my job until something shakes out either way, honestly. I don’t know which way it’s going to go, but I’ll be ready for whatever.”</p><p>He went on to detail that he will be ready Week 1, as the Raiders hit the road to face an improved New England Patriots team.</p><p>Last season, Meyers posted a career year, catching 87 passes for 1,027 yards and four touchdowns. His 129 targets trailed only Bowers in the Silver and Black. The near-Pro Bowl production led Meyers to inquire about a new contract. But that was something Las Vegas was not willing to entertain.</p><p>Instead, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/las-vegas-raiders/raiders-news-las-vegas-brings-back-amari-cooper-5-million-contract">Cooper’s re-signing in Las Vegas</a> might indicate the team’s willingness to move on from Meyers.</p><p>The 28-year-old played his college ball at North Carolina State, but went undrafted. Ironically, it was the Patriots who took a chance on Meyers. That might have been the only good wide receiver decision the Patriots have made over the last decade. But in typical New England-wide receiver fashion, they gave up on him too soon.</p><p>Now, he will get a chance to prove himself to the Raiders, against the team that let him walk.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He is entering the final year of a deal that will pay him $10.5 million. That’s well below the current market for a productive receiver. While Las Vegas has given no indication it is ready to move him, speculation about possible destinations has intensified.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/new-york-jets/jets-perfect-jakobi-myers-trade-proposal-after-raiders-trade-request">The Jets appear to be a natural fit</a>. ESPN’s Rich Cimini noted the connection between Meyers and Jets passing game coordinator Scott Turner, who coached Meyers in Las Vegas the past two seasons. Turner praised him late last year, calling him one of his favorite players he has ever coached.</p><p>New York has Garrett Wilson entrenched as its top option. However, the depth chart behind him is less certain. Josh Reynolds, Allen Lazard, Xavier Gipson, and rookie Arian Smith round out the group. The Jets have explored veteran options. But so far have avoided making a major investment.</p><h2><b>Jakobi Meyers could give the Jets a reliable No. 2!</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Jakobi-Meyers-1.jpg"><figcaption>Gary A. Vasquez-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Meyers, however, would represent an immediate upgrade. He is coming off his best season with 87 catches for 1,027 yards and four touchdowns. He has topped 800 receiving yards in four of the last five years and is regarded as one of the league’s most reliable pass catchers. Last season, he was targeted 126 times without being credited with a single drop.</p><p>The challenge for the Jets is cost. While a trade might not require more than a mid-round pick, Meyers is seeking an extension that could push beyond $20 million per season. The Jets already committed significant money to Wilson this summer and have emphasized a run-heavy approach with quarterback Justin Fields and running backs Breece Hall and Braelon Allen.</p><p>Still, with their receiver depth under scrutiny, Meyers stands out as one of the few options who could significantly raise the ceiling of the passing game. Whether Las Vegas actually makes him available remains uncertain.

Jakobi Meyers wants out of the Raiders, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/las-vegas-raiders/raiders-news-jakobi-meyers-requesting-trade-las-vegas">requesting a trade from Las Vegas</a>.</p><p>NFL Network insiders Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero <a href="https://x.com/RapSheet/status/1960058461623820336" rel="noopener">added context into why</a> Meyers is seeking a new home.</p><p>“Meyers and the team attempted to negotiate a new contract, but could not come to terms,” Rapoport shared on X, formerly Twitter.</p><p>However, the Raiders are denying any thought of sending away their 1,000-yard wide receiver. Granted, the Raiders shared this declaration <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/las-vegas-raiders/raiders-news-las-vegas-brings-back-amari-cooper-5-million-contract">before luring back Amari Cooper</a>.</p><p>The return of Cooper adds him to a room already featuring intriguing newcomers. Dont’e Thornton delivered an impressive training camp. Jack Bech is another rookie the Raiders are high on. And the Silver and Black feature 2024 Pro Bowler Brock Bowers at tight end.</p><p>Meyers can still make this Raiders offense dynamic and deep in the air attack. But the Steelers present plenty of reasons to make a run at him well before the NFL Trade Deadline.</p><h2><b>Steelers sales pitch involves 2 new stars for Jakobi Meyers</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Jakobi-Meyers-vs.-Chargers.jpg"><figcaption>Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>That would be Aaron Rodgers and DK Metcalf at quarterback and wide receiver, respectively.</p><p>Wide receivers rarely turn down the chance to play with Super Bowl-winning passers. Irrespective of how old they are. Rodgers is now in place in the Steel City.</p><p>But the WR room remains iffy at best outside of Metcalf. The Pro Bowler no longer has George Pickens opposite of him. Pickens completed his first training camp with the Dallas Cowboys. Roman Wilson and Calvin Austin III are the only other options outside of Metcalf — with Austin catching less than 40 passes in 2024.</p><p>Pittsburgh can prevent itself from creating more pressure on Wilson and Austin. Meyers hands the AFC North franchise a needed experienced and established veteran for Metcalf and Rodgers plus makes the Steelers’ WR unit one of the league’s deepest.</p><p>So what will it take trade-wise to bring Meyers over?</p><h2><b>Trade proposal involving Steelers and Raiders</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Raiders-wide-receiver-Jakobi-Myers.jpg"><figcaption>Stephen R. Sylvanie-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/las-vegas-raiders/5-best-jakobi-meyers-destinations-after-raiders-trade-request">The Steelers are a strong destination already for Meyers</a>. Now with Cooper back in the Raiders’ locker room, this rules out LV considering WR. This leads into the following idea involving both parties:</p><ul><li>Steelers send one 2026 third-rounder to Vegas.</li><li>Pittsburgh ships ’26 free-agent guard Isaac Seumalo in this move too.</li></ul><p>The Raiders then sweeten this deal for Pittsburgh.</p><ul><li>Vegas ships away more than Meyers in this proposal.</li><li>The Raiders trade guard Dylan Parham.</li></ul><p>This is a two-for-two special on both sides and moves that benefit the Steelers and Raiders greatly.</p><p>Seumalo is back from the non-football injury list, but he’s due to make <a href="https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/player/_/id/19033/isaac-seumalo" rel="noopener">more than $6.8 million in base salary</a> this season. Plus he carries a cap hit of $10.1 million. The 31-year-old would join Alex Cappa as past guards carrying Super Bowl-winning experience into the Raiders’ locker room (Seumalo played on the Philadelphia Eagles’ Super Bowl LII team).</p><p>Parham is feeling turbulent ground at guard in Henderson. The 26-year-old is looking like a potential odd man out in the two-deep. Change is increasing for the past third rounder. Oh, he’s still on his rookie deal with no word of a fifth-year option.</p><p>Parham rejoins old Memphis teammate Austin here in the Meyers proposal. Vegas then gains an additional third-rounder for next April. Pittsburgh already holds a third-round option via the Cowboys thanks to the Pickens move.</p><p>General managers John Spytek and Omar Khan should hold this conversation for the Raiders and Steelers, respectively.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Jakobi Meyers sounds like he wants to relinquish his spot on the final 53, however.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/las-vegas-raiders/raiders-news-jakobi-meyers-requesting-trade-las-vegas">The 1,000-yard wide receiver requested a trade from the Raiders</a> Monday afternoon. Meyers <a href="https://x.com/RapSheet/status/1960058461623820336" rel="noopener">made the attempt to negotiate a new contract</a>, per NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport. But no terms got reached. Prompting Meyers to seek a new home.</p><p>The Raiders may have denied they’ll deal him away. Pete Carroll still likely needs a trusted veteran to lead a new-look WR room featuring a pair of rookies. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/las-vegas-raiders/raiders-news-las-vegas-brings-back-amari-cooper-5-million-contract">Although the Raiders have welcomed back Amari Cooper</a> following the Meyers news.</p><p>Yet there are five suitors who can appeal to Meyers. Especially in diving into the state of these WR rooms. Here are the five teams worth monitoring and why.</p><h2><b>Jakobi Meyers to Minnesota Vikings </b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Jakobi-Meyers-diving-catch.jpg"><figcaption>Stephen R. Sylvanie-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>This destination makes too much sense. Even with Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison as WR1 and WR2, respectively.</p><p>Yet the latter wideout will miss the first three games due to a suspension. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/minnesota-vikings/vikings-news-jordan-addison-breaks-silence-3-game-suspension">Addison violated the NFL’s substance abuse policy in August</a>.</p><p>NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero reported Wednesday that Minnesota <a href="https://x.com/TomPelissero/status/1958132797115146654" rel="noopener">is actively looking for another WR option</a>. Meyers rises as the best available with a workable market.</p><p>The Vikings own a cache of picks for 2026. All thanks to past deals with the Houston Texans and Jacksonville Jaguars. The additional fourth and fifth round picks obtained via the latter team involves Cam Robinson and how much he plays in the Twin Cities. Perhaps Raiders general manager John Spytek can look into one of those day three selections.</p><h2><b>Raiders work deal with Steelers</b></h2><p>Yes, Vegas may consider listening to an old rival. Especially one in desperate need of their own WR weaponry.</p><p>Obviously Aaron Rodgers arriving to Pittsburgh is one sales pitch here. But Rodgers doesn’t have many proven weapons outside of DK Metcalf. Calvin Austin III and Roman Wilson will need to step their game up with the Super Bowl champ on board.</p><p>But Rodgers can use another veteran to expand his arsenal. And increase the Steelers’ Super Bowl hopes.</p><p>Spytek can maybe look into one of the three day two picks Pittsburgh holds. The Steelers gained a third rounder from the Dallas Cowboys via the George Pickens trade. Pittsburgh can send its other third round pick in exchange for Meyers.</p><h2><b>Jets rise as possible Meyers destination </b></h2><p>Rodgers’ last team is undergoing a QB transition and regime change. Justin Fields still needs help in the air attack.</p><p>The incoming QB1 for New York gains 1,000-yard target Garrett Wilson. But Fields isn’t offered much after Wilson.</p><p>New head coach Aaron Glenn is spoiled with draft trades from the previous regime. The Jets worked past deals with the Cleveland Browns, Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens to obtain three additional sixth rounders.</p><p>New York likely won’t want to relinquish its first three selections in rounds one, two and four. But they can add the Raiders’ 2026 third rounder with Meyers while handing Vegas one of its sixth rounders, then a 2027 third round pick.</p><h2><b>Reunion for Meyers? </b></h2><p>Let’s not rule out the New England Patriots here.</p><p>Meyers became a beloved fan favorite toward the end of the Tom Brady era. Going from undrafted to 80-catch talent in 2021.</p><p>Times are different near the Boston region. But Drake Maye offers new hope behind center — and appeal for Meyers to return.</p><p>New England holds two fourth rounders next season after Kansas City traded up to grab Nohl Williams in April. One of those picks can be considered in a Meyers reunion. Or Vegas can take a swing at adding a veteran too — a la Kendrick Bourne. He’s in the second year of a three-year deal he signed in March 2024.</p><h2>Raiders and Dolphins can make a deal</h2><p>Unfortunately old Silver and Black nemesis Tyreek Hill doesn’t become a part of this idea. Even though it sounds highly enticing following <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/miami-dolphins/dolphins-rumors-tyreek-hill-trade-buzz-going-away">some trade rumblings from Hill</a>.</p><p>Yet the Dolphins must prepare for life after “Cheetah.” Hill has openly stated he doesn’t want to play forever.</p><p>Miami is built for playoff runs now. Coming here puts Meyers on a postseason contender for the first time in awhile.</p><p>The Raiders don’t need to entertain draft capital in a Miami deal either. Edge rusher Jaelan Phillips is a 2026 free agent and can add depth with Maxx Crosby. But the Raiders can even nab a pick that manifested thanks to a familiar past star: Darren Waller. Miami added a 2026 sixth rounder by virtue of a previous New York Giants deal involving the former Raiders star.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
