Trade Packages, Landing Spots for Raiders' Jakobi Meyers Amid Deadline Rumors

Jakobi Meyers has become one of the bigger names to watch as the clock ticks towards the NFL trade deadline at 4 p.m. ET on November 4.

With the Las Vegas Raiders well out of contention and Meyers unhappy with his situation—he initially requested a trade in the offseason and confirmed last week he still hopes to be dealt—the stage is set for a blockbuster move.

While the Raiders of old may have given up the 28-year-old for a late-Day 3 pick and a bag of chips, the new-look organization helmed by minority owner Tom Brady, head coach Pete Carroll and GM John Spytek seems a bit more prudent.

Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, the organization will only move on from the talented wideout for "strong value in return."

While Vegas is off to a poor 2-5 start to the 2025 campaign with little chance of catching the trio of five-plus win teams ahead of it in the AFC West, Meyers has shown he's still in his prime by catching 29 passes for 329 yards in six games.

NFL insider Jordan Schultz reported it will likely take a "at least a Day 2 pick" for the Raiders to entertain a trade offer for the North Carolina State product playing out the final year of his contract.

With that in mind, let's highlight some potential landing spots and trade packages for Meyers.

Las Vegas Raiders Receive: 2026 3rd-Round Pick

Why Buffalo Does It

The Buffalo Bills have been and will remain a Super Bowl contender while Josh Allen is playing MVP-caliber football, but there's still room for them to improve the roster.

The wide receiver position is surprisingly thin in western New York, with Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman and Joshua Palmer making up Allen's three main targets. While this is a serviceable group, it lacks a proven playmaker like Meyers to take it to the next level.

While Meyers isn't a prototypical alpha No. 1 wideout, he's done a fantastic job moonlighting in that role following Devante Adams' departure last season. He's shown he can carry an offense and succeed despite a lack of firepower under center, and he would be a strong bet to raise his game to new heights if he got a chance to work with Allen.

Why Las Vegas Does It

The Raiders are going to be losing Meyers for nothing but a compensatory draft pick after the season. With the team unlikely to be playing for anything come January, it's time to maximize the value for the veteran wideout and get more draft capital to build around.

While Vegas clearly didn't want to deal with rebuilding—evidence by the organization tapping a 74-year-old head coach in Pete Carroll and trading for a 35-year-old quarterback in Geno Smith—it's time to face the music and become a trade deadline seller.

Although Buffalo's projected late-third rounder isn't the most exciting offer, it's still going to provide better draft position than the best possible compensatory selection. It's a deal worth making for a Raiders squad that has holes up and down the lineup that will need to be addressed during the draft.

Why Denver Does It

The Broncos are in desperate need of receiving help.

The team was already razor-thin at the position before Marvin Mims Jr. entered the concussion protocol during Denver's big win over the Dallas Cowboys and can't afford to let the trade deadline pass without adding a notable name to the receiving corps.

Meyers may not be the biggest star up for grabs this week, but he's a competent pass-catcher who represents a massive upgrade over Pat Bryant, the rookie third-rounder who will see his limited role greatly expanded if Mims or any other Denver starter misses time.

Bryant has caught just seven passes for 86 yards and a touchdown in 2025, a far cry from the production Meyers consistently generates. While the Raiders wideout has been limited by injury this season, he's only a year removed a career-best 87/1,027/4 campaign.

Meyers would instantly slot in as one of Bo Nix's top targets. He would provide immense support to Troy Franklin and Courtland Sutton, the two wideouts tasked with much of the heavy lifting in Denver's passing attack.

Why Las Vegas Does It

Considering the Raiders already have an in-house replacement for Meyers lined up in Tyler Lockett—the veteran receiver signed Monday and comes with some pre-established chemistry with quarterback Geno Smith—they shouldn't hesitate to move on from their current No. 1 wideout for the right price.

Although Vegas would likely prefer to move Meyers outside of the AFC West, it would be unwise to dismiss an offer if the Broncos call.

With Denver being named by ESPN's Adam Schefter as one of the three teams "most aggressively pursuing a wide receiver before the deadline," the Raiders could end up getting the best offer from their divisional rival.

If the Broncos are willing to kick over a late-Day 2 pick and sweeten the pot with a 2027 Day 3 pick, it won't be long before Meyers is heading to the Mile High City.

Why New York Does It

The Giants' season may have officially gone up in flames when breakout running back Cam Skattebo suffered a gruesome ankle injury, but the team shouldn't throw in the towel just yet.

With Jaxson Dart still in the midst of a pivotal rookie campaign, the G-Men must do everything they can to support the young quarterback.

Squandering his development with poor receiving weapons and returning to the losing culture that has haunted this organization for much of a generation is the last thing Brian Daboll and Joe Schoen need if they hope to return in 2026.

While Meyers isn't going to single-handedly salvage Big Blue's year, he represents a massive upgrade over the current crop of receivers Dart has been working with following Malik Nabers' season-ending knee injury.

Getting an opportunity to build rapport with Meyers, who has potential to become a priority free-agent target for New York in a few months, while staying somewhat competitive is worth the cost of admission.

Why Las Vegas Does It

The Raiders aren't going to get a massive haul from a rebuilding franchise like the Giants, but they could still benefit from kicking the tires on a reclamation project in Evan Neal while also adding an early-Day 3 pick to their arsenal.

The Giants' pick is likely to land near the top of the fourth round. The team is currently 2-6 and would select No. 6 overall if the draft were held today. Meyers might help them steal a game or two in the back half of the campaign, but ultimately he's not elevating Big Blue outside of a top-10 draft slot.

Neal hasn't played a single snap for the G-Men in 2025, but he's only a couple years removed from being drafted No. 7 overall and still has plenty of untapped potential in theory.

With Vegas having holes in the O-line that will need addressing next offseason, it could benefit the club to try out Neal—who is playing out the final year of his rookie deal—as a potential low-risk, high-reward target in free agency.

Las Vegas Raiders Receive:  Conditional 2026 5th-Round Pick

Why Pittsburgh Does It

After starting the Aaron Rodgers era off hot, the Steelers are quickly fading from contention. Despite putting up two of their highest point totals of 2025, they have lost back-to-back contests and are now just a game ahead of the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC North.  

While improving a flailing defense should be the top priority for the Steelers at the deadline, the offense also needs a touch more firepower to be considered a serious Super Bowl threat.

There seems to be an internal belief of this, too, as The Athletic's Dianna Russini reported the Pittsburgh front office has been "making calls about adding a wide receiver."

Meyers is the perfect complementary receiver for this veteran-laden club looking to make a last-ditch championship push with a 41-year-old quarterback at the helm.

If he lands with the Steelers, Meyers could slot into his natural No. 2 WR role and excel alongside top option DK Metcalf.

Meyers represents a strong upgrade over Calvin Austin III, the current No. 2 wideout in Pittsburgh's offense who has mustered a meager 167 yards and two scores on 14 catches this season.

Why Las Vegas Does It

The Raiders should make the most of Pittsburgh's desperation to contend during its limited window with Rodgers under center.

Tying some playoff-based conditionals into the compensation they would receive for Meyers could result in the best possible return for the veteran receiver.

The T.J. Hockenson trade that took place between the Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions a few seasons ago involved postseason performance. As part of the deal, the Vikings returned a 2024 fourth-round pick that would drop to a fifth-rounder if Minnesota managed to win a playoff game after acquiring the tight end.

To make this interesting, the Raiders could ask for the return to be bumped a round for each round of the playoffs Pittsburgh makes it to—starting with a fifth-rounder for missing out entirely, moving to a fourth for an appearance in the Wild Card or divisional round, a third for the AFC Championship Game and a second for the Super Bowl.

While there's a chance Vegas wouldn't collect more than a mediocre Day 3 pick, the potential to bump all the way up to a premium second-round draft slot is worth betting on.
