Jakobi Meyers is being traded from the Las Vegas Raiders to the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for fourth- and sixth-round draft picks. Multiple teams, including the Pittsburgh Steelers, pursued Meyers before the trade, and his contract is set to expire after this season, making him a future free agent. Meyers repeatedly requested a trade during the season and stated that he wants "to be in a good spot." Jacksonville acquired Meyers following injuries in the receiving corps, with rookie Travis Hunter placed on injured reserve and Brian Thomas Jr. suffering an ankle injury against the Raiders.
