The Raiders are trading receiver Jakobi Meyes to the Jaguars, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on Tuesday, hours before the NFL trade deadline. In return, Jacksonville is sending fourth- and sixth-round picks to Las Vegas.
Meyers was set to become a free agent this offseason.
The receiver requested a trade from the Raiders back in August, but Las Vegas had no intentions of trading him at the time. When he was asked about this request just a couple weeks ago, Meyers expressed his desire to still end up elsewhere in a trade, but he knew he had no control over that. In the end, he got what he wanted.
This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
