The clock is ticking on the Patriots to reach a deal with their leading receiver before he becomes a free agent.
Jakobi Meyers and the Patriots have been in talks for a new deal, however, they haven’t made much progress and he’s expected to hit free agency, ESPN’s Dan Graziano reported Sunday.
Meyers has been commonly viewed as one of, if not the best, free-agent wide receivers this offseason. But he might not be paid like other top receivers have in free agency in recent years.
Meyers could be looking at a deal with an average annual salary between $12 million and $15 million, multiple teams reportedly told NBC Sports Boston’s Phil Perry.
