Raiders Explore Multiple Trades Involving Key Players Ahead NFL Deadline

As the 2025 NFL trade deadline approaches, the Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Eagles, and Buffalo Bills are all seeking to strengthen their cornerback positions, with Las Vegas Raiders veteran Eric Stokes emerging as a potential trade candidate due to his strong performance this season despite the Raiders' struggles. Meanwhile, the Raiders are likely to trade wide receiver Jakobi Meyers, who is in the final year of his contract and has publicly requested a trade, especially following the signing of Tyler Lockett. Meyers has attracted interest from multiple teams, including the Denver Broncos, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Buffalo Bills, though the Raiders have been reluctant to negotiate seriously without a strong offer, particularly from AFC West rivals. Meyers has had consistent but unspectacular production this season, and trading him would leave the Raiders' receiving corps thin. The Raiders' 2-5 record and diminished playoff hopes under coach Pete Carroll make the sale of key players like Stokes and Meyers plausible as they look to rebuild.
