NFL Rumors: 3 Teams Talking Jakobi Meyers Trade With Raiders

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers runs with the ball during 2025 game.

The Jakobi Meyers trade market is heating up, and league chatter has the Pittsburgh Steelers, New York Giants, and Buffalo Bills in active conversations with the Las Vegas Raiders

Meyers wants a fresh start, the Raiders are trending toward seller status, and contenders with receiver needs are lining up. Vegas is indicating it wants a real draft asset, not a late pick swap, and recent interest suggests they just might get it.

Why the Raiders are listening

Las Vegas has stumbled early, and Meyers sits in the final year of his deal after an offseason trade request. He has the profile teams trust at the deadline. 

Four seasons of 800 or more yards, a 1,000 yard campaign in 2024, strong third down reliability, and proven production despite uneven quarterback play. The Raiders also added veteran help at receiver, which softens the blow if they move him. The sense around the league is that a day two pick or something close will be required.

How Meyers fits Steelers, Giants, Bills

Pittsburgh needs a steady WR2 to live opposite DK Metcalf and reduce pressure on tight ends to carry the chain moving game. Meyers brings separation on option routes, red zone craft, and a dependable target share for Aaron Rodgers.

New York must support Jaxson Dart while Malik Nabers rehabs. Meyers can become the immediate top target now and slide into a clean complement when Nabers returns next season. Contract flexibility gives the Giants a path to keep him as a core piece.

Buffalo sits in the AFC race with Josh Allen but lacks a proven 1,000 yard receiver on the roster. Meyers can anchor the room, stabilize early downs, and elevate play action explosives with Keon Coleman and Khalil Shakir rotating stress across formations. The Bills profile as a team that can justify paying the stronger price.

A move would give the buyer a reliable volume piece for the stretch while letting the Raiders recoup value before free agency. With the deadline approaching, these three clubs are the ones to watch.
