Former New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers got his first taste of NFL free agency this offseason.
And it seems like it wasn’t exactly what he expected.
After four productive seasons with the Patriots, Meyers moved on and signed a three-year, $33 million deal with $21 million in guarantees with the Las Vegas Raiders. Meyers then saw the Patriots hand his replacement in JuJu Smith-Schuster basically the same deal with the veteran wideout inking a three-year, $33 million deal with $16 million guaranteed.
When the dust settled, Meyers, who wanted to stay with the Patriots, was caught off guard by the fast-moving experience of free agency.
