Las Vegas Raiders fans did not necessarily want things to be this way with Jakobi Meyers. But after a failure to reach an extension, a trade request, and an initial denial of that trade request, the relationship between the two parties had clearly soured.
Meyers is now a Jacksonville Jaguar after the Raiders' front office agreed to trade him in exchange for a 4th and a 6th-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. While Las Vegas may take an initial hit in offensive production, this is the right move for the franchise.
It is also the right move for Meyers, as he remained incredibly professional throughout this process despite the writing being on the wall for his future with the Raiders.
