In a bit of a surprise, the Las Vegas Raiders struck a deal with free-agent wide receiver Jakobi Meyers worth $33 million — $21 million guaranteed — over three years.
Wideout was far from the Raiders’ biggest need this offseason, but head coach Josh McDaniels clearly wanted to bring in “his guy”. Meyers spent the first three years of his career playing for McDaniels with the New England Patriots before the coach left for Las Vegas.
Meyers became a fixture in McDaniels’ offense as a slot receiver, putting together a career year in 2021 — their last season together — with 89 catches for 906 yards and two touchdowns.
