The market for Jakobi Meyers was weaker than anticipated, and the Patriots still weren’t able to strike a deal with their most productive receiver from last season.
Meyers signed a three-year, $33 million dollar contract with Las Vegas. He’ll receive $21 million in guaranteed money.
Former Patriots defensive back Devin McCourty was “shocked” that Meyers left on such a deal. Some analysts predicted Meyers could have commanded around $15 million per year.
McCourty thought that the price range ended up being reasonable enough for New England to bring Meyers back.
