A fresh start under new head coach Pete Carroll was supposed to bring discipline, balance, and identity. Instead, the team sits near the bottom of the AFC. They have struggled to score and sustain any rhythm. Most ecently, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/jacksonville-jaguars/jakobi-meyers-trade-grades-for-jaguars-raiders">they traded top receiver Jakobi Meyers</a> at the 2025 NFL trade deadline. This move signaled a shift from competing now to preparing for tomorrow. Yet, even in a rebuilding year, you can’t field a competitive team without giving your quarterback weapons.</p><p>If the Raiders want to stay at least respectable, they need to act fast. The front office’s next move is clear. They need to sign a veteran wide receiver who can bring a semblance of stability to the offense. Doing so would help bridge the gap until the team reloads in 2026.</p><h2><b>Early optimism to harsh reality</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Geno-Smith_f289a1.jpg"><figcaption>Isaiah J. Downing-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Under Carroll and quarterback Geno Smith, Las vegas has stumbled to a 2-7 record through Week 10 of the 2025 season. After a promising Week 1 victory that hinted at potential, the team’s offense has since sputtered. Smith, though completing 66.7percent of his passes, has been plagued by turnovers. To date, he has thown 12 interceptions to just 11 touchdowns.</p><p>The team’s uneven performances and lack of direction prompted a philosophical shift at the trade deadline. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/jacksonville-jaguars/jaguars-news-jacksonville-acquires-jakobi-meyers-raiders-trade">The Raiders traded away their leading receiver</a>, Jakobi Meyers, to the Jacksonville Jaguars for fourth- and sixth-round picks in the 2026 NFL Draft. Note that Meyers had requested a trade earlier in the season after failing to reach terms on a long-term extension. Now, this deal will allow the Raiders to offload his expiring contract while stockpiling assets for their rebuild.</p><p>Of course, it’s strategic long-term move. That said, it has also left a glaring hole in the offense. Meyers was Smith’s most dependable target, particularly on intermediate routes and in the red zone. Now, the Raiders face the daunting task of balancing development with competitiveness.</p><p>Here we’ll try to look at and discuss the next signing that the Las Vegas Raiders must make after trading away Jakobi Meyers.</p><h2><b>Sign a veteran wide receiver</b></h2><p>The Raiders’ biggest priority post-trade is signing a veteran wide receiver. Note that Smith thrives on timing, precision, and trust. He now lacks a reliable slot option who can separate quickly and move the chains. Recall, too, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/las-vegas-raiders/raiders-news-las-vegas-reunites-tyler-lockett-geno-smith">that the Raiders just signed Tyler Lockett about a week ago</a>.</p><p>While Carroll’s familiarity with Lockett brings some relief, the latter is best viewed as a complementary piece. He is most certainly not a primary solution. His presence offers leadership and reliability. At this stage of his career, though, Lockett is a short-term bridge, not the long-term answer.</p><p>The Raiders need another proven receiver who can line up in the slot or as a flanker and serve as Smith’s safety valve. Young wideouts like Jack Bech and Dont’e Thornton Jr haven’t shown enough consistency. Brock Bowers, who recently returned from injury, does offer a lot of depth. However, he just had his worst game of the season in their most recent loss to the Denver Broncos on TNF. Adding a veteran now would not only stabilize the offense. It would also accelerate the development of younger players around Smith.</p><h2><b>Tyler Lockett’s arrival</b></h2><p>Lockett’ recent signing was a smart but limited move. Again, he brings leadership, professionalism, and familiarity with Carroll’s system. That said, he is not the dynamic, every-down threat that Meyers was.</p><p>Lockett excels as a route technician and situational playmaker, but his speed and durability have declined. Expecting him to carry the passing offense is unrealistic. The right signing would not only help Smith but also open up opportunities for Bowers.</p><p>Veteran presence is vital for growth and culture</p><p>Beyond on-field production, adding another experienced receiver would serve an important purpose in the locker room. With Meyers gone, the Raiders’ receiving corps is one of the youngest in the league. The current <a href="https://www.espn.ph/nfl/team/depth/_/name/lv/las-vegas-raiders">group just lacks depth</a> and leadership.</p><p>A seasoned wideout can help establish professional habits and reinforce Carroll’s culture of accountability. Someone like Diontae Johnson, Odell Beckham Jr, Robert Woods, or even Nelson Agholor could potentially fit the bill. Each offers varying degrees of experience, route discipline, and locker-room leadership. Signing one of these veterans on a short-term, team-friendly deal would allow the Raiders to remain competitive while preserving their flexibility for 2026.</p><h2><b>Balancing the rebuild with respectability</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Jakobi-Meyers-trade-grades-for-Jaguars-Raiders.jpg"></figure><p>Trading Meyers confirmed that the Raiders are playing the long game. Carroll and general manager Tom Telesco are prioritizing youth, draft picks, and cap space. With that, the 2025 season has become about evaluation and foundation-setting. Still, that doesn’t mean the Raiders should wave the white flag.</p><p>Signing a veteran receiver would help them field a competitive team while developing the next generation. It would also allow Smith to operate within a functional offense. That would give the front office a fair evaluation of whether or not he remains part of the team’s future.</p><p>The options may be limited, but the logic is sound: stability breeds development. The Raiders can’t afford to throw away the rest of 2025. They must sign a veteran wide receiver who can help them stay competitive now while building for tomorrow.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The current top receiver on the team is Brian Thomas Jr., who has brought in 30 receptions this year for 420 yards. He has just one receiving touchdown this year.</p><p>Meanwhile, the second leading receiver is Travis Hunter, who has 298 yards and a score this year. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/jacksonville-jaguars/jaguars-news-adam-schefter-concerning-injury-update-travis-hunter">Hunter is on IR</a> with a knee injury. Meyers has brought in 800 yards and four touchdowns in each of his last three seasons. That will give Lawrence another option to throw to and help ease the pain of losing Hunter.</p><p>Still, this is a rental player. The Jaguars gave up two draft picks for a player who will be a free agent at the end of the season. While he will help in the short term, it was a high price to pay for the rental. It had been <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/nfl-rumors-bills-join-steelers-jakobi-meyers-trade-hunt">reported that multiple teams were interested</a> in trading for Meyers, which could have driven up the price. They could recoup some of the cost if Meyers walks in free agency in the form of a compensatory selection.</p><p>The Jaguars’ front office felt it was worth the driven-up price to get another receiver. Considering that the team is just one game up in the wild-card standings on the Kansas City Chiefs, they needed to find a way to get receiver help. If Meyers is a factor in getting the Jaguars to the playoffs for the first time since 2022, then the trade was worth it. If not, the Jags will have lost two draft picks for nothing.</p><p><b>Jaguars trade grade: B-</b></p><h2><b>Raiders trade grade </b></h2><p>Before the season, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/las-vegas-raiders/raiders-news-jakobi-meyers-requesting-trade-las-vegas">Meyers had requested a trade from the Raiders</a>. He was in search of a long-term contract with the team, but was not given one by the team. This could lead to the conclusion that Meyers would be leaving the team after the season. The Raiders got two draft picks, including a fourth-round pick for an expiring contract.</p><p>Further, they got two picks for a player who has had a slight regression of a season so far. He has just 33 receptions for 352 yards and has yet to score this year. Moreover, he has been below 40 yards receiving in each of his last four games. He will get a chance to rescue his season and be on a team contending for a playoff spot.</p><p>The Raiders’ season is not going to result in a playoff berth. The team is just 2-6, and in last place in the division. The team also still has four games against division opponents, all of whom are in the playoff race. They also have a road game against the Philadelphia Eagles later in the season. With the season lost, it was time to think of the future. The future was likely not going to have Meyers, so they got value for him.</p><p>Beyond just the draft picks, the Raiders are in a solid spot with the salary cap in the future. The Raiders are expected to have over $100 <a href="https://overthecap.com/2026-cap-space-vs-salary-guarantees" rel="noopener">million in cap space</a> next year. This is to go with their multiple draft picks in 2026. They also got better value than could be expected from Meyers. While the wide receiver is a solid player, he was not worth two draft picks, but by leveraging other teams against each other, that is exactly what they got. This is not a move that will change the trajectory of the franchise, but it was a solid deal for the team.</p><p><b>Radiers trade grade: B+</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Pittsburgh’s search for a chain mover at receiver put the Steelers on the phone with Las Vegas, and the Buffalo Bills’ need for another reliable target had them checking in as well.</p><p>Both teams kicked the tires as the deadline neared while the Raiders held firm on price and timing.</p><p>According to The Athletic’s Dianna Russini, Buffalo <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/live-blogs/nfl-trade-deadline-2025-tracker-live-updates-news-grades/SboNPXhv0Qd7/" rel="noopener">was among the teams that inquired</a> about Meyers, who ultimately landed elsewhere, with Jacksonville stepping in to complete the deal.</p><p>The Bills’ continuing to sniff around the wide receiver market was no surprise, given their on-schedule needs and the value Meyers offers as a route winner and third-down finisher.</p><p>From a fit standpoint, the Bills’ interest matched their problem set. When coverage tilts toward the top option, Buffalo has searched for consistent answers underneath and in the red area.</p><p>Meyers profiles exactly there, a receiver who separates quickly and converts in traffic. That is also why Pittsburgh explored the same path, hoping to ease pressure on a room that has leaned heavily on its headliners and needed a possession option to stabilize drives.</p><p>Las Vegas controlled the leverage. With no urgency to move a starting caliber wideout, the Raiders could wait for the right offer or carry Meyers into the back half as a steadying presence around Geno Smith and Brock Bowers.</p><p>That posture pushed interested teams to weigh rental value against mid-round capital, a calculation that often cools talks unless a buyer blinks.</p><p>The Bills did not force it. Their inquiry signals a clear intention, reinforce the pass-catching depth without overpaying, but the market moved quickly.</p><p>Jacksonville ultimately closed the loop. The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/jacksonville-jaguars/jaguars-news-jacksonville-acquires-jakobi-meyers-raiders-trade">Jaguars acquired Jakobi Meyers</a> from the Raiders on Tuesday, sending fourth and sixth-round picks, per reports. It is a timely reinforcement with Travis Hunter on injured reserve and a playoff push in play.</p><p>Given Meyers’ 2024 production and role, Jacksonville is betting on immediate chemistry in Liam Coen’s offense while keeping the door open for Hunter’s return later this season.</p><p>Buffalo now pivots to internal answers and a watchful eye on waiver churn. The search did not end in a trade this time, but the need that sparked the inquiry remains on the checklist for a team with January ambitions.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

I think my sense is it’s going to be beyond that. It’s going to be as I was told, it’s going to be ‘a while before Travis Hunter comes back.’ And Jacksonville has been willing, and as long as they stay alive, I think we could see Travis Hunter again later this season.”</p><p>Meyers should keep Jacksonville competitive alongside second-year receiver Brian Thomas Jr. Plus, assuming Hunter returns in 2025, the Jaguars will have a dangerous wide receiver trio for Trevor Lawrence.</p><p>GM James Gladstone has given the Jaguars the pieces they need to compete in 2025.

Reports have also tied the Bills to the conversation, with Buffalo exploring help behind its top options and the Raiders signaling a high asking price for their veteran target.</p><p>Per the New York Times, Las Vegas<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6767924/2025/11/01/nfl-trade-deadline-2025-rumors-news-tush-push/" rel="noopener"> has fielded calls from both</a> the Steelers and Bills on Meyers, but the Raiders set a steep price, and Pittsburgh is simultaneously checking other wideout options as the deadline nears.</p><p>That stance tracks with how the market views Meyers, who profiles as a reliable chain-mover and route-winner rather than a pure field stretcher, and it explains why interested teams are testing multiple lanes at once.</p><p>For Pittsburgh, the need is obvious. After shipping out George Pickens in the offseason, production beyond DK Metcalf has been sporadic. Calvin Austin III has flashed, but the gap between WR1 and the rest of the room remains wide, which is why a possession receiver who thrives on option routes and third downs makes sense.</p><p>Meyers’ usage in Las Vegas this year has stayed steady amid a 2 and 5 performance, and while the counting numbers are modest, his role projects cleanly into Arthur Smith’s offense that prizes spacing and reliability.</p><p>Buffalo sits on the other end of the stylistic spectrum but has a similar problem set. When the ball is not funneled to the top target, the Bills have struggled to find on-schedule answers against man coverage. A receiver who can win quickly and convert in the red area would reduce stress on the quarterback and on a defense that has lived on the field too long in key stretches.</p><p>Las Vegas’ leverage is time and price. With no urgency to dump a starting-caliber receiver, the front office can hold for a premium or pivot to 2026 with Meyers as a stabilizer for Geno Smith and Brock Bowers. That stance also keeps pressure on suitors to decide whether a rental is worth a day two pick or a player plus mid-round package.</p><p>According to continued insider chatter, a deal is not off the table. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/las-vegas-raiders/raiders-rumors-jakobi-meyers-trade-table-insider">Mike Garafolo has indicated Meyers has sought a move more</a> than once, and Las Vegas just added Tyler Lockett, a veteran who already has chemistry with Geno Smith, which could cushion a departure.</p><p>Meyers is on a quiet statistical pace this season, and he reaches free agency after the year, a combination that pushes trade math toward value discipline for buyers and toward timing discipline for the Raiders.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Per Russini, the Steelers, along with the Buffalo Bills, have been calling the Raiders about Meyers. Las Vegas reportedly has a high asking price for the seventh-year receiver. The Steelers are also making calls on other receivers ahead of the trade deadline.</p><p>The Steelers could certainly use help at the position. Former Seattle Seahawk <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/pittsburgh-steelers/aaron-rodgers-dk-metcalf-connection-makes-steelers-afc-contender">DK Metcalf</a> has been by far the best pass catcher on the roster with 27 catches for 461 yards and five touchdowns. The next closest wide receiver to that production is Calvin Austin III with 14 catches for 167 yards. Pittsburgh did trade away George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys this offseason, and Pickens has flourished in one of the best pass attacks in the NFL with Dak Prescott. Pickens already has 685 yards and six touchdowns on 43 receptions.</p><p>Las Vegas clearly isn’t going to challenge for a playoff spot this season with a 2-5 record, easily last in the AFC West. Meyers has been one of the hottest names on the receiver market along with New Orleans Saints wideout Chris Olave and even Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Brian Thomas Jr.</p><p>It’s clearly a match made in heaven with Meyers and the Steelers. Meyers has been very good this season in a not ideal situation in Las Vegas. With 29 catches for 329 yards and, surprisingly, no touchdowns, he’s been a top two option for the Raiders. Tre Tucker has 60 more yards on the same number of catches, but trading Tucker isn’t likely to be traded being on his rookie level contract. If Pittsburgh can match the Raiders’ asking price, then it could come down to them or the Bills for who wins the Jakobi Meyers sweepstakes this trade deadline.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

They landed a gem of a 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, who set rookie records</a> the year prior. Las Vegas brought in Geno Smith from the Seattle Seahawks to stabilize the passing game. And wide receiver Jakobi Meyers is coming off a career year.</p><p>Well, we are nearly halfway through the season, and the Raiders find themselves in last place, again. They are 2-5 and 3.5 games behind the Denver Broncos in the AFC West. That has prompted some talk of the team being sellers ahead of next week’s trade deadline.</p><p>Earlier this season, Meyers had reportedly expressed in wanting a trade out of Vegas. But over the last few weeks, that notion seems to have cooled off. But according to NFL Insider Mike Garafolo, a <a href="https://x.com/MikeGarafolo/status/1984025416571461963" rel="noopener">trade is not off the table</a>.</p><p>“The wide receiver for the Raiders have requested a trade multiple times. The Raiders just haven’t found a partner yet. I wouldn’t give up on this one just yet.” Garafolo said.</p><p>“They did add Tyler Lockett, so if they lose Jakobi Meyers, they have another guy that can pick up the production.”</p><p>Earlier this week, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/las-vegas-raiders/raiders-news-las-vegas-reunites-tyler-lockett-geno-smith">Las Vegas signed the veteran receiver, Tyler Lockett</a>.</p><p>Lockett previously played with Smith and head coach Pete Carroll in Seattle. So, a reunion might signal that a trade is imminent.</p><p>Meyers is having a dreadful season in the Silver and Black. He has just 29 catches on 43 targets for 329 yards and has yet to score a touchdown. That comes on the heels of an 87-catch, 1,027-yard season.</p><p>The former New England Patriots wide receiver will be a free agent after this season. So, if any team decides to acquire him, it would likely be on a rental, which might be holding up any potential deal.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Las Vegas has received interest in the seven-year veteran, and my sense is the Raiders want a strong pick for Meyers. A swap of Day 3 picks won’t do at this stage,” Fowler wrote.</p><p>“Several teams are believed to be in the receiver market, most notably the Steelers and possibly the Broncos and Bills. Meyers clearly wants out, and the Raiders are in a transitional phase. They just signed veteran Tyler Lockett, which could ease the loss of dealing Meyers. Pittsburgh is keeping tabs on this one but is prepared to be patient, too. If I had to predict a destination right now, I’d say the Steelers.”</p><p>The Georgia native has 29 receptions for 329 yards this season with the Raiders.

I’m just trying to play good football.”</p><p>It remains to be seen if the Steelers will make a serious push for Meyers ahead of the deadline.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He has contributed to online outlets and reported on major international tournaments, building a strong background in sports journalism and digital media while displaying his passion about storytelling and sports.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">Las Vegas Raiders</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>Jakobi Meyers still wants out of Las Vegas, and he hasn’t hidden it. As the Raiders hit their bye, the veteran wideout reiterated that <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/las-vegas-raiders/raiders-news-jakobi-meyers-clamoring-out-las-vegas">he wants his trade request granted</a> but said he’ll remain professional and focus on playing well if he stays. “I’ve got no control over that, if I’m here I’m here,” he told ESPN’s Ryan McFadden, adding that he still hopes to be moved while keeping his standards on the field.</p><p>Even so, the Raiders aren’t planning a giveaway. Las Vegas would trade Meyers only if the return meets a strong-value threshold, with no such offer on the table yet, per ESPN. With the Nov. 4 deadline approaching, the organization is prepared to carry him through the end of his deal if necessary.</p><p>Meyers, 28, confirmed he “wants to be in a good spot” <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46723513/sources-raiders-willing-keep-jakobi-meyers-trade-request" rel="noopener">and hasn’t engaged in recent talks about a new contract</a>. He missed last week’s loss to the Chiefs with knee and toe injuries but is expected back after the Week 9 bye. Through six games, he has 29 receptions for 329 yards. Also, multiple teams are actively exploring receiver help, including the Steelers, Bills, and Broncos.</p><p>That posture reflects Las Vegas’ broader calculus: a productive, respected veteran on an expiring contract has real value, but the club won’t move him for less than they believe he’s worth. In the meantime, Meyers emphasized he won’t be a distraction, saying the team knows how he feels and he’ll keep showing up for his teammates.</p><p>From a market-fit standpoint, there’s no shortage of landing spots. Beyond the teams monitoring the position, Meyers’ profile, sure-handed, disciplined, and scheme-flexible, fits what several offenses need down the stretch. He has produced steadily despite a turbulent year, which is why interest persists as the clock ticks toward the deadline.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/las-vegas-raiders/best-jakobi-meyers-trade-suitors-if-raiders-finally-trade-starting-receiver">Looking at potential destinations, multiple scenarios make sense</a>. The Steelers could use a reliable chain-mover; the Bills remain a natural contender seeking another trustworthy target; the Patriots offer familiarity and immediate plug-and-play value; and the Giants profile as a team that could use stability at receiver.</p><p>The common thread is simple: Meyers helps quarterbacks win on schedule and in structure, precisely why the Raiders will only listen if the offer matches his on-field impact.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

With that, some key players could soon find themselves on the trading block. Among them, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/las-vegas-raiders/raiders-rumors-jakobi-meyers-emerges-trade-candidate">wide receiver Jakobi Meyers has emerged</a> as one of the most talked-about names ahead of the November 4 trade deadline. While not flashy, Meyers has built a reputation as a sure-handed, disciplined receiver who thrives in structure. These are qualities that make him a valuable asset for contenders or rebuilding teams seeking veteran leadership and production.</p><h2><b>Meyers’ 2025 season so far: quietly productive amid chaos</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Jakobi-Meyers-1.jpg"><figcaption>Trevor Ruszkowski-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>As of Week 8 of the 2025 NFL season, Jakobi Meyers’ tenure with the Raiders appears to be nearing its end. After requesting a trade during the offseason following unsuccessful contract extension talks, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/las-vegas-raiders/raiders-news-jakobi-meyers-clamoring-out-las-vegas">Meyers reaffirmed his desire to be traded</a> in October. Note that he has had <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/stats/_/id/3916433/jakobi-meyers">29 catches for 329 yards</a> through six games, albeit with zero touchdowns. Despite being a productive player for a struggling offense the Raiders are reportedly open to moving him.</p><p>The fact that Meyers is in the final year of his contract make trading him for future draft capital a logical option. This is especially true with the team already in a transitional period under new general manager and head coach Pete Carroll. Carroll told reporters that Meyers (knee/toe) and tight end Brock Bowers (knee) are <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/las-vegas-raiders/raiders-news-brock-bowers-jakobi-meyers-return-bye-week">both expected to return to action</a> after the Week 8 bye. Meyers missed his first game of the season in the Raiders’ 31-0 loss to Kansas City but is expected back for the Week 9 clash versus Jacksonville on November 2.</p><p>Still, the bye week could give the front office a chance to explore deals. Meyers’ reliability, football IQ, and system flexibility make him an attractive option for several franchises looking to strengthen their passing attack down the stretch.</p><h2><b>Pittsburgh Steelers: Rodgers needs a steady, proven target</b></h2><p>The Pittsburgh Steelers are the most logical suitor on paper. After trading away George Pickens in the offseason, the Steelers’ wide receiver room has been a revolving door of inconsistency. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers has generally struggled to find chemistry with his current group of receivers. He has relied a little too heavily on tight end Pat Freiermuth and running backs in checkdown situations.</p><p>Meyers’ route precision and knack for finding soft spots in zone coverage would immediately bolster Pittsburgh’s offense. He’s not a home-run hitter. However, his reliability on third downs and red-zone efficiency make him an ideal Rodgers target. The Steelers could likely acquire him for a conditional fourth- or fifth-round pick. That is reasonable value for a productive veteran on an expiring contract.</p><p>Adding Meyers could also help stabilize an offense that ranks near the bottom in yards per game. His presence would help Rodgers sustain drives. That’s a must for a team still fighting for playoff positioning in the AFC North.</p><h2><b>New England Patriots: a homecoming that just makes sense</b></h2><p>If there’s a team that knows Meyers best, it’s the New England Patriots. A reunion with his original franchise makes perfect sense for both sides. Meyers thrived under former coach Josh McDaniels. He is now back in Foxborough as the offensive coordinator. His familiarity with the system and his work ethic fit the ‘Patriot Way’ to perfection.</p><p>Note that Stefon Diggs is still recovering from a torn ACL. Also, the rest of the receiving corps are still developing chemistry with second-year quarterback Drake Maye. As such, Meyers could return as an immediate plug-and-play option. His understanding of the playbook and rapport with McDaniels would give New England an instant offensive boost. That would provide Maye a reliable, experienced target who knows how to get open under pressure.</p><p>The Patriots’ young offense has shown flashes but lacks consistency in critical downs. Meyers’ return would help balance the attack. He would allow Maye to grow with confidence behind a veteran presence. For a team in the midst of rebuilding but still eager to compete, this deal would bring both nostalgia and stability.</p><h2><b>New York Giants: filling the void left by Malik Nabers</b></h2><p>The New York Giants’ season took a major blow when Malik Nabers suffered a season-ending torn ACL. Without their dynamic wideout, the Giants’ passing attack has struggled to stretch defenses and sustain momentum. Meyers could step in immediately as the team’s de facto WR1. He would offer veteran steadiness and strong hands in contested situations.</p><p>Quarterback Jaxson Dart has often been criticized for inconsistency. However, a reliable possession receiver like Meyers could elevate his play. With plenty of cap space and a clear need at receiver, New York could justify sending a mid-round pick to Las Vegas for Meyers’ services.</p><p>Beyond the stats, Meyers brings leadership and accountability. These are traits the Giants sorely need as they try to remain competitive in the NFC East. Pairing him with Wan’Dale Robinson and running back Cam Skattebo could give the Giants’ offense the balance it’s been missing.</p><h2><b>Buffalo Bills: another weapon for Josh Allen’s arsenal</b></h2><p>The Buffalo Bills remain one of the AFC’s top contenders, but there still seems a noticeable void. Yes, Keon Coleman and Khalil Shakir have impressed. That said, adding a savvy veteran like Meyers could give quarterback Josh Allen another trusted option.</p><p>Buffalo’s offense thrives on spacing and timing, both areas where Meyers excels. He’s not a burner. However, his precise route-running and strong hands make him a perfect fit for Allen’s high-powered arm. The Bills could use him in multiple formations to complement their deep threats and help diversify the passing game.</p><p>With championship aspirations and a short Super Bowl window, Buffalo might be willing to part with a mid-round draft pick to bring in a reliable receiver who can contribute immediately. Meyers’ unselfish playstyle would also fit seamlessly into the team’s culture.</p><h2><b>Final thoughts</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Las-Vegas-Raiders-WR-Jakobi-Meyers.jpg"><figcaption>Kiyoshi Mio-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Jakobi Meyers is the kind of player who doesn’t make headlines every week. However, he makes life easier for everyone around him. Whether it’s for a contender like Buffalo or a rebuilding team like New England, his combination of reliability, experience, and professionalism makes him an ideal midseason acquisition.</p><p>If the Raiders truly are embracing a rebuild, trading Meyers now could yield valuable assets for the future. The NFL trade deadline looms, and several teams are watching closely. Expect calls to come in fast once Week 9 begins, as Jakobi Meyers might soon be catching passes somewhere new.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

But even with an extra week off to think about things, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/las-vegas-raiders/raiders-news-jakobi-meyers-reaction-failed-trade-request">Meyers’ desires haven’t changed</a>.</p><p>Still, as long as he is wearing a Raiders jersey, the wide receiver plans on keeping it professional. But as the trade deadline approaches, Meyers is <a href="https://x.com/ryanmcfadden_/status/1980730187806617886" rel="noopener">still looking for a move</a> out of Las Vegas, via Ryan McFadden of ESPN.</p><p>“I’ve got no control over that, if I’m here I’m here,” Meyers said.</p><p>“Oh for sure,” he added when asked if he still wants to be traded. “But I’m a professional at the end of the day. I’m just trying to play good football.”</p><p>Meyers wasn’t able to play in the Raiders’ 31-0 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs due to a knee and toe injuries. But prior to that absence, he has caught 29 passes for 329 scoreless yards, ranking second on the team in both categories. While he hasn’t caught a touchdown yet, Meyers came down with four scores in 2024 and eight in 2023.</p><p>Over his entire seven-year NFL career, the receiver has made 422 grabs for 4,921 yards and 20 touchdowns. If the Raiders were to make Meyers available for trade, he would certainly attract interest from any contending team in need of a receiver.</p><p>When Las Vegas hired Pete Carroll, and subsequently traded for quarterback Geno Smith, they were hoping to compete in 2025. However, things have gone awry, as the Raiders are entering their bye week with a 2-5.</p><p>Las Vegas has been reluctant to deal Meyers thus far. But perhaps slipping further out of contention prior to the trade deadline will force their hand.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

One thing that has hurt the Raiders this season is injuries, and the offense missed some key pieces against the Chiefs. One of them was <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/las-vegas-raiders/raiders-news-roster-move-amid-jakobi-meyers-uncertainty">Jakobi Meyers, who missed his first game</a> of the season, and Brock Bowers, who has missed the past few games.</p><p>With the Raiders heading into a bye week, <a href="https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1980336036418097240" rel="noopener">there is some optimism</a> that they’ll return, according to head coach Pete Carroll.</p><p>“Raiders HC Pete Carroll told reporters that TE Brock Bowers and WR Jakobi Meyers should return for the Sunday Nov. 2 game against the Jaguars after the team’s bye week,” ESPN’s Adam Schefter wrote on X, formerly Twitter.</p><p>Bowers and Meyers are the Raiders’ best two pass catchers, and it’s obvious when neither of them are on the field. It’s been real noticeable with Bowers missing time, and it’s affected the way the team has played.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/las-vegas-raiders/raiders-news-brock-bowers-not-expected-play-chiefs-week-7">Bowers suffered a PCL injury</a> in Week 1 against the New England Patriots and played through it for the next three games. The team then decided to sit him since then, as the only way he was going to recover was by getting some rest.</p><p>With Bowers being out, it was expected that Meyers would get most of the catches, but he hasn’t been able to establish much of a rhythm with Geno Smith so far. There have also been rumors that the Raiders could be looking to trade Meyers, as he requested one before the start of the season because he wanted a new contract.</p><p>As of now, it looks like they’ll keep him, and the most likely want to see what the team looks like on offense when they are fully heatlhy.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
