The Las Vegas Raiders are sitting at 2-12 and staring at the number one pick in the draft. The team has 10 draft picks in total, with hopes of rebuilding the franchise.
Two of those picks came via a trade
with the Jacksonville Jaguars. After demanding a trade before the start of the season, the Raiders moved wide receiver Jakobi Meyers to North Florida for a fourth and sixth-round pick.
Since joining the Jaguars, Meyers has flourished with 27 catches, 355 yards, and three touchdowns. His production has lifted Treveor Lawrence to another level, and the team is 6-1 since he joined.
All of this led to what Meyers was seeking this offseason: a new contract. Meyers was rewarded for his play with a three-year, $60 million contract extension.
The former NC State Wolfpack receiver has a chance to help his new football team win the AFC South this year and for years to come.
