The Las Vegas Raiders are a curious team at this point in the 2025 NFL season. Their record sits at 2-5, but because of their investments in veteran players and an aging Pete Carroll, they are still looking to be competitive. Recent moves even suggest they're still trying their luck at a Wild Card spot.
At the same time, they know that an inevitable rebuild is coming, so certain moves must be made as a result. One of those moves is the potential trade of wide receiver Jakobi Meyers, which would have left the position group without an established veteran presence.
