With the official start of NFL free agency just days away, Jakobi Meyers is setting himself up for a hefty pay raise.
The 26-year-old wideout is arguably the most coveted receiver set to hit the open market, and his route-running talents and sure hands could price him out of the Patriots’ pay range.
Even though the Patriots ideally want to retain Meyers, given his steady track record next to Mac Jones, a report from ESPN’s Mike Reiss paints the picture of a player set to land a pricy contract in the coming days.
“According to an NFL executive source, one team that explored the potential market for Meyers believes it will need to be in the range of $15 million-plus per year to sign him,” Reiss wrote in a column published Sunday.
