Jakobi Meyers entering free agency at a time when there aren’t a lot of options is good news for the former undrafted rookie out of NC State. However, it could be bad news for the New England Patriots.
Meyers is likely to be the big-ticket free agent option in 2023 in an increasingly robust receiver market.
Sure, elite players like Davante Adams and Tyreek Hill could always reset the market with exorbitant contracts, but as ESPN’s Mike Reiss wisely pointed out on Sunday, players like Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Christian Kirk came away with a four-year, $72 million deal with $37 million in guaranteed money back in 2022.
