Raiders Weigh Jakobi Meyers Trade Amid Wide Receiver Shortages

The Las Vegas Raiders have recently signed veteran quarterback Jeff Driskel to their practice squad as insurance due to injuries to quarterbacks Aidan O’Connell and Kenny Pickett. Meanwhile, trade rumors about their top wide receiver Jakobi Meyers have sparked debate, with some proposing a trade to the San Francisco 49ers, who have a depleted receiving corps due to injuries. However, Raiders management appears reluctant to trade Meyers, considering his consistent performance and the low return offers, such as a sixth-round pick and a cornerback with minimal NFL experience. Analysts suggest that Meyers could be a valuable asset for the 49ers to bolster their offense, but the Raiders would likely prefer to keep him or seek a stronger trade offer, possibly no less than a third-round pick. Additionally, speculation includes the Denver Broncos as a potential trade partner, as they need wide receiver help and could offer a more valuable fourth-round pick. Overall, the Raiders are weighing their options carefully given Meyers' importance to their offense and the current state of their receiving roster.
