Less than 48-hours after defeating the Las Vegas Raiders in overtime, the Jacksonville Jaguars have reportedly completed a trade with Las Vegas, per multiple sources.
It may be worth noting that Meyers will be a free agent following this season. After his offseason request for a trade was denied, he has gotten his wish for a new home. As covered by BigCatCountry’s Gus Logue:
With a 12th percentile 40-yard dash (4.63s), a 29th percentile broad jump (118″), and a 31st-percentile 3-cone drill (7.07s), Meyers has always been a below-average athlete by NFL standards. Maybe that’s why his game has aged gracefully. The 6′ 2″, 193 lb wideout wins with field IQ and strong hands. He would immediately be the Jaguars’ best pass-catcher at finding voids in zone coverage, not to mention at understanding play concepts and route landmarks.
In seven games in 2025, Meyers has a receiving line of 33 catches for 352-yards, on 49 targets (10.7-yards per reception). Meyers missed the Raider’s week 7matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs with a knee injury, returning against Jacksonville to the tune of four catches, on six targets, for 23-yards (5.8-yards per reception).
Per ESPN:
Meyers entered 2025 eyeing his fifth consecutive top-30 fantasy campaign. The veteran is one of 10 receivers with 67-plus receptions and 800-plus receiving yards in each of the past four seasons and he peaked with career highs in targets, catches, yards and end zone targets (11) in 2024. The 28-year-old has dealt with shaky QB play in recent seasons.
With Jacksonville recently placing Travis Hunter on Injured Reserve, Dyami Brown leaving Sunday’s matchup with a concussion, Brian Thomas Jr struggling with an ankle injury, Tim Patrick sidelined Sunday with a groin injury, Brenton Strange still on IR for at minimum an additional week, and Hunter Long dealing with a knee injury Jacksonville had a dire need for an infusion of pass catching talent in the short-term, while sitting at 5-3 and in second place in the AFC South.
Following the trade, Jacksonville still has significant ammunition in the 2026 NFL draft, with 11 remaining picks:
- Second Round Pick
- Third Round (x3)
- Fourth Round
- Fifth Round (x2)
- Sixth Round
- Seventh Round (x3)
A veteran presence with a 61% career contested catch rate, is reportedly coming to Duval for the cost of a fourth and sixth round pick. What are your thoughts of the trade, BigCatCountry? Let us know in the comments below.
