Steelers Eye Trade for Standout Raiders Wide Receiver Jakobi Meyers

The Pittsburgh Steelers are among the teams interested in acquiring Jakobi Meyers. The Raiders, though open to offers, seem inclined to evaluate their options thoroughly before making a significant roster decision. Meyers had initially expressed a desire for a trade during the preseason due to contract issues.

Meyers’s Impressive Performance

87 receptions in 15 games last season
Accumulated 1,027 receiving yards
Scored four touchdowns
Surpassed previous career records

Meyers has continued to impress this season, recording 329 receiving yards despite challenges with quarterback Geno Smith’s performance.

Future Prospects

Meyers’s contract situation remains a critical factor, with his current deal expiring soon. This could make him more attractive as a trade asset for the Raiders if retaining him isn’t in their future plans. As the trade deadline nears, the interest from teams like the Steelers makes it an intriguing situation to follow.
