Patriots' Kraft Regrets Jakobi Meyers Contract Talks: 'Shouldn't Have Let Him Go'

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft appears to regret letting wide receiver Jakobi Meyers enter free agency last offseason.

"I shouldn't have let him go," Kraft said on Thursday's episode of The Shop alongside Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams.

Kraft's comments begin at the 12:45 mark of the video below.

Meyers signed with the Raiders one day after entering free agency last March.

Kraft was responding to Adams, who said he learned "so much" from playing with Meyers last year.

"He was basically the best-kept secret in the league, for me," Adams said. "Certain small things, within his routes. He's not the fastest guy in the world, so he's really good at changing, he can move within his routes, change of pace while he's running full speed, probably one of the best that I've seen so far."

Meyers led the Patriots in receiving yards for three straight seasons between 2020 and 2022.

He later said the Patriots fell $1 million short of matching the three-year, $33 million contract he signed with the Raiders, per Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald.

Last season, Meyers topped 800 receiving yards for the third straight season as he recorded a career-high eight receiving touchdowns across 16 starts with the Raiders.
