As the New England Patriots navigate the 2025 NFL season with second-year quarterback\u00a0Drake Maye\u00a0showing flashes of brilliance, including a standout Week 6 performance against the New Orleans Saints with 261 yards and three touchdowns, the team still seeks more consistent offensive firepower. Jakobi Meyers, a proven wide receiver currently mired in a disappointing Raiders campaign, has already\u00a0requested a trade\u00a0amid contract tensions. Bringing Meyers back to Foxborough could give Maye a dependable target to elevate the passing game.<\/p>\n

“I asked, they said no. That’s where that stopped. I’ll keep doing my job until something shakes out either way.”#Raiders\u00a0WR Jakobi Meyers addresses reports that he requested a trade amid contract negotiations, saying he’s happy in Las Vegas but he ‘can be happy anywhere.’\u00a0pic.twitter.com\/twFPLhSXWE<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2014 Nick Walters (@nickwalt)\u00a0September 3, 2025<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Pro Football Focus\u2019 Bradley Locker suggested the Pats as a trade fit for Meyers this week. \u201cDuring his stint in Las Vegas, Meyers has overcome highly questionable quarterbacking to still play like an above-average receiver,\u201d\u00a0Locker wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn fact, since 2023, Meyers owns an 80.3 PFF receiving grade while dropping just five passes \u2014 tied for the fewest among receivers with 200 or more targets in that span. This season, Meyers has earned a 69.5 PFF receiving grade and averaged a career-best 5.6 yards after the catch per reception.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPete Carroll\u2019s first season with the Raiders has been a disaster, with the team having only an 8% chance to make the playoffs through five games,\u201d Locker continued. \u201cWith Meyers on an expiring deal and Las Vegas drafting both Jack Bech and Dont\u2019e Thornton Jr. in April, the veteran could be expendable. \u2026 Josh McDaniels could be interested in a reunion with Meyers in New England.\u201d<\/p>\n

Locker suggested three other fits for Meyers: the San Francisco 49ers, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Denver Broncos. For the Patriots, however, Meyers stands out as an ideal addition. Meyers\u2019 low drop rate and yards-after-catch prowess could open up the offense, allowing Maye to build confidence and stretch defenses. At 28, Meyers fits the timeline for a rebuilding Patriots squad aiming for playoff contention, potentially costing just a mid-round pick in a seller\u2019s market.<\/p>\n

Meyers entered the league as an undrafted free agent from NC State in 2019, signing with the Patriots and quickly emerging as a reliable slot receiver. Over four seasons in New England, he amassed 235 receptions for 2,758 yards and eight touchdowns, proving his value in a quarterback carousel that included Cam Newton and Mac Jones.<\/p>\n

In 2023, Meyers signed a three-year deal with the Raiders, where he continued producing despite inconsistent playcalling and signal-callers, posting 71 catches for 807 yards and eight scores in his debut year there, followed by 87 receptions for 1,027 yards and four touchdowns in 2024.<\/p>\n

This 2025 season, through six games, Meyers has recorded 29 receptions for 329 yards without a touchdown, yet his efficiency remains solid amid the Raiders\u2019 2-4 start.<\/p>\n

He has averaged a career-best 5.6 yards after the catch per reception, demonstrating his ability to create after the ball arrives. The Raiders\u2019 struggles, combined with Meyers\u2019 expiring contract, make him a prime trade candidate, and the Patriots have reason to swoop in.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
