The Las Vegas Raiders have had a dark cloud hanging over the building since the onset of the 2025 NFL season. Just days before the campaign began, star wide receiver Jakobi Meyers, who set career-highs in both receptions and receiving yards last season, requested a trade.
This was the culmination of a longstanding contractual dispute between Meyers and the team, as the new leadership tandem of John Spytek and Pete Carroll did not seem keen on giving him an extension during the last year of his contract.
Meyers has been a true pro's pro, participating in every practice and game, barring injury, since the spat became public.
