Jakobi Meyers Requests Trade

Cooper looked pretty damn slow last year.

Dont need 2016 Coop. Need him to divert coverage from Thorton and Bowers

[BayouRaider]

Spytek is not messing around. AL would be proud.

Replaces Jakobi Myers in 1 hour of the news breaking. Hopefully we can flip him for a 3rd round pick.
Amari Cooper will be serviceable for 2026.

What a dick move by Jacobi Myers to ask for a trade on cut-down day.

30/yr? I'll pass

Yeah no way is he worth even close to that.

You think our #1 WR wanting a trade a week before our 1st game is "not a big deal" smh!

It would be a big deal if it wasn't "new contact" related. Requesting a trade because a player wants a new contract and negotiations ain't going well is not unusual or surprising at all. Asking aint getting.

I wonder what rooting for team that doesn’t always have something dramatic going on is like?

We better win some fcking games.

We lose because of shit mamagement, shit coaching; shit qb play and overall lack of talent.

The Chiefs have plenty of drama every year it seems, yet they are in the superbowl at the of it.

Clearly Great minds think alike

If actually catching the football is a trait you value out of a WR, then Meyers is far better.

Three straight balls to the endzone, three straight drops. I was there, that is a thing.

[KillerRaider30]

Trade him for oline or CB just to dump his salary.

Makes sense

Here's an excerpt from the article in the link:

The difference with Meyers is that the Raiders may have already drafted his replacement in second-round pick Jack Bech. One of the primary reasons the rookie has been stuck with the backups is that his skill set overlaps with Meyers.

While Bech spent time playing on the outside in college, his best work came in the slot. Meyers can line up outside, but he’s spent most of his time working from the slot during OTAs, training camp and the preseason.

It’s hard to find snaps for Bech with Meyers being a superior player at this point in his career, but he could be a cheaper alternative for the Raiders as soon as next year. As much as the situation is about Meyers wanting more money in the immediate future, this could also be a situation where he’s reading the writing on the wall and sees what drafting Bech could mean for him long term.

“I want to be here for sure, but that’s all I can really say on it right now,” Meyers said of a potential extension in May. “That’s business between us and the top floor, so I’ma just hold that one down for now.”

Makes sense

I dont know why he mentions Bech, Dante Thornton is the one who has been shining.

[RickRyb]

Bech plays Meyers position

[Summerall-Madden]

Seems like Bech is going to be a starter come week 1! Good luck to Jakob! If they decide to part ways.
