Other than the Christian Wilkins saga, it has been a fairly quiet and staple training camp and preseason for the Las Vegas Raiders under first-year general manager John Spytek and coach Pete Carroll. Yet, with the regular season looming in 13 days, there is now potential drama brewing<\/p>\n
Several media outlets have reported that Las Vegas No. 1 wide receiver Jakobi Meyers has requested to be traded because the two sides have not been able to come to terms on a contract extension.<\/p>\n
Meyers is entering the final of a three-year contract with the Raiders and is making less than $11 million, which is below market. Meyers became the Raiders\u2019 No. 1 wide receiver last October after the Raiders traded Davante Adams to the New York Jets.<\/p>\n
Meyers responded well to the challenge. Meyers had a career year in 2024 as he had 87 catches for 1,027 yards. He also didn\u2019t have any drops last season.<\/p>\n
NFL Media state the Raiders don\u2019t plan on dealing Meyers. So, it remains to be seen how this is resolved.<\/p>\n
The Athletic has reported the Raiders are among the teams looking at veteran receivers, so perhaps this development will have an affect on that interest. The team could look for a veteran in a trade or after Tuesday\u2019s roster moves are made. Former Raiders\u2019 receiver Amari Cooper is probably the best current free-agent option.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Other than the Christian Wilkins saga, it has been a fairly quiet and staple training camp and preseason…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":291725,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2026],"tags":[7,4241,12621],"class_list":{"0":"post-317407","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-las-vegas-raiders-news","10":"tag-las-vegas-raiders-salary-cap"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115091692917180174","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/317407","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=317407"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/317407\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/291725"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=317407"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=317407"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=317407"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
