Jakobi Meyers did little to mask his emotions when the Patriots handed JuJu Smith-Schuster a three-year, $33 million contract last March.
“Cold world lol,” Meyers posted on X.
Despite establishing himself as New England’s most consistent wideout over the last few seasons, the Patriots opted to let Meyers walk in free agency — choosing to sign Smith-Schuster instead to step in as Mac Jones’ slot receiver.
But, it didn’t take very long for Meyers to get the last laugh against his former club.
Meyers ultimately signed a three-year contract with the Raiders, with the 27-year-old wideout reeling in 71 catches for 807 yards and a career-high eight touchdowns in 2023.
