Nonetheless, even if the Raiders have no intention of moving him, every team has its price. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If the Silver and Black were willing to trade Meyers, former NFL pass rusher Chris Long suggests that Meyers return to the New England Patriots as a potential landing spot. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cAmari Cooper arrives about the same time Meyers asked for a trade,\u201d <\/span>Long said on his \u201cGreen Light\u201d podcast <span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. \u201cBy the way, I think a reunion in New England would be a lot of fun.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Is Jakobi Meyers Entering His Prime Production Years?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Over his two seasons in Las Vegas, Meyers has played in 31 games, recording 158 receptions, 1,834 receiving yards, and 12 touchdowns. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Nonetheless, last season was his breakout year as Meyers hauled <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">in<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> 87 passes for a career-high 1,027 yards and four touchdowns while catching passes from Gardner Minshew and Aidan O\u2019Connell.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Returning<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> to New England would be a <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">full-circle<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> moment as the Raiders wideout spent the first four seasons of his career with the Patriots. Meyers played in 60 games for the Patriots, registering 235 receptions for 2,758 receiving <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">yards<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0and eight touchdowns.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Meyers was going to have an upgrade at quarterback after catching passes from Minshew and O\u2019Connell last season with veteran signal-caller Geno Smith coming in. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>In a May 29 article from Raiders team reporter Levi Edwards <span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, Smith noted his excitement about the new offensive teammates after the offseason trade from the Seattle Seahawks to Las Vegas. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cThey\u2019re making my job a lot easier,\u201d Smith said of his teammates. \u201cTremendously easy to be out here with these young, talented players. <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">I think we have <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">a really good<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> team, <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">a <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">really<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> good<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> array of weapons <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">and<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> just a bunch of different guys that can do <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">a lot of<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> great things.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cObviously Brock is who he is. Getting to know Tre [Tucker], getting to know Jakobi [Meyers] and watching Michael go out there and make plays. Ashton is coming along. The offensive line is doing a great job. I think Chip is calling great plays. It\u2019s real easy for me, I\u2019ve just got to go out there and be myself and get the ball into their hands and let them be special.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Could another AFC East be eyeing the Raiders standout?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The New York Jets don\u2019t have much depth at wide receiver beyond Garrett Wilson. Behind him, the group features Josh Reynolds, Allen Lazard, Xavier Gipson, and rookie Arian Smith.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">However, the Jets may still explore outside options, <\/span>according to ESPN\u2019s Rich Cimini <span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cOne receiver who might be available is\u00a0Jakobi Meyers, who reportedly wants the\u00a0Las Vegas Raiders\u00a0to\u00a0trade him. Jets passing game coordinator Scott Turner, a Las Vegas Raiders assistant the previous two seasons, spoke glowingly of Meyers last December: \u2018I tell people all the time, he\u2019s one of my favorite players that I\u2019ve ever coached.&#8217;\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Eduardo Razo Eduardo Razo is a sports journalist covering the NFL for Heavy.com.
