Jakobi Meyers: ‘You could tell things would go bad’ for Mac Jones in 2023

Jakobi Meyers’ decision to leave Foxborough in free agency last March proved to be the right move for the gifted receiver.

While New England’s offense imploded during the 2023 season en route to a 4-13 record, Meyers put together one of the best seasons of his career with the Raiders.

After signing a three-year deal in Las Vegas, Meyers caught 71 passes for 807 yards and a career-high eight touchdowns in 2023.

New England opted to sign JuJu Smith-Schuster to replace Meyers as the team’s top slot receiver. And even though both Meyers and Smith-Schuster inked similar three-year deals, Smith-Schuster only reeled in 29 catches for 260 yards and one touchdown in New England.
