Raiders Weigh Trading Top Receiver Meyers Amid Disappointing Season

As of October 15, 2025, the Raiders are reportedly open to trading their top wide receiver Jakobi Meyers before the November 4 trade deadline. This comes just a year after the team sent their previous top receiver, Davante Adams, to the Jets to join Aaron Rodgers.

Meyers, who is in the final year of his current contract, had requested a trade earlier this year as he did not want to play on a one-year deal. The Raiders had initially balked at giving Meyers an extension, leading to the trade request. However, with the team struggling at 2-4 and facing the possibility of another lost season, their willingness to make a deal may have changed.

Meyers is coming off a 1,000-yard season in 2024 and is on pace to approach those numbers again this year at age 28. His strong play has attracted interest from other teams, including the Steelers, who are led by Rodgers. The Raiders could look to get a similar package to the third-round pick they received when they traded Davante Adams last year, though that deal ultimately did not pan out well for the Jets.

The Raiders have just under three weeks to decide Meyers' fate. They did not wait until the deadline when trading Adams, but Meyers has been playing through his contract despite the previous trade request, so the team may be more inclined to wait and see if a suitable offer emerges.
