Jakobi Meyers had a career year in 2024 as he recorded 1,027 receiving yards and four touchdowns on 87 receptions. Ahead of the new season, he made it known that he hopes to receive a new contract with the Las Vegas Raiders.
That did not happen, leading the wide receiver to submit a trade request, which the team has no plans of granting. While players often choose to sit out until they receive a new deal or are traded, Meyers showed his commitment to the team by taking the field against the New England Patriots in Week 1.
