Raiders' Jakobi Meyers says he 'for sure' still wants to be traded - ESPN

HENDERSON, Nev. — With the NFL's Nov. 4 trade deadline approaching, Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers is standing firm with his request to be traded from the team.

«Oh, for sure,» Meyers said Tuesday. «But I'm a professional at the end of the day. I'm just trying to play good football. If I'm here, I'll play good football. If I'm not here, I'll go out there and play wherever I'm supposed to be.»

In August, Meyers, 28, requested a trade after being unable to reach an agreement on a new contract. The Raiders, however, denied his request. Meyers is in the final year of a three-year, $33 million deal he signed in 2023 after four seasons with the New England Patriots.

Meyers said he hasn't put much thought into a new deal with the Raiders since the season started.

«That window kind of just closed with the offseason in it,» Meyers said. «If it gets done, I don't care for real. I really just want to be in a good spot for me [and] my family.»

Meyers added that he hasn't spoken with the team about his trade request as of late. He said he is focused on staying in the moment despite being a subject of trade rumors because Las Vegas sits in last place in the AFC West at 2-5.

"[The Raiders] know how I feel," Meyers said. «It's no reason for me to keep going back crying to them, 'Can you get me out of here?'

»If you move me, you move me. But in the meantime, I got some real people that I care about next to me, so I'm trying to make sure I'm being my best self for them."

During this time of the year, Meyers said the team tries to make light of the uncertainty.

He mentioned how the players will make jokes whenever they see their names appear in trade discussions. «Like, what time is your flight? It's all fun and games,» he
