Raiders fans are confused as Jakobi Meyers trade return is less than Saints haul

After an awkward standoff that lasted for months, the Las Vegas Raiders finally parted ways with Jakobi Meyers ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline. Meyers is now a member of the Jacksonville Jaguars, where he is reunited with wide receivers coach Edgar Bennett.

Raider Nation was proud of rookie general manager John Spytek for holding out for a better package. After initially wanting at least a Day 2 pick, Las Vegas did settle for a 4th and a 6th-rounder, but it was clearly a bidding war between the Jaguars, the Pittsburgh Steelers and Buffalo Bills.

Meyers was not going to be on the roster next season anyway, and there was no point in waiting until 2027 for a potential compensatory pick.
