The Buffalo Bills have kicked the tires on a splash and the cleanest target is obvious: a Bills trade for Jakobi Meyers.
With the Las Vegas Raiders sitting 2-5 and Meyers reiterating his desire to be moved in the final year of his deal, league chatter says Vegas will listen for strong value.
Buffalo needs one more reliable chain-mover for Josh Allen, and Meyers’ 29 catches for 329 yards in six games make him the safest plug-and-play upgrade available.

Bills trade for Jakobi Meyers: What gets it done?
The Raiders are signaling Day 2 value. The most realistic Bills offer is a 2026 third-round pick straight up.
It beats any compensatory return Las Vegas would see next spring and gives Buffalo a precision route-runner who wins on option routes, third downs, and in the red area.
If the market tightens, Buffalo can sweeten it with conditional language: a 2026 fourth that escalates to a third if Meyers hits snap or production thresholds, or if the Bills win a playoff game. The cap is manageable since Meyers is on an expiring deal, and Buffalo can fit him by trimming a back-end contract or converting small in-season money to bonuses.

Why both sides say yes
For the Bills, Meyers stabilizes a room that currently leans on Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, and Joshua Palmer. He can work immediately as Allen’s safety valve on intermediate crossers and glance routes while still posting WR2 volume.
For the Raiders, a third in 2026 (or a conditional fourth that can rise) is a clean exit for a player who asked out, especially after adding Tyler Lockett.
Vegas banks the pick, elevates Tre Tucker’s role, and avoids letting Meyers walk for a lesser comp pick. If another team overbids, Buffalo can pivot, but this is the straightforward, football-clean deal that helps both sides today.
