Meyers: Pats ‘wouldn't budge' over $1M difference from Raiders' offer originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
One of the New England Patriots' many miscues in 2023 was picking JuJu Smith-Schuster over Jakobi Meyers in free agency.
Smith-Schuster took Meyers' spot on the Patriots' wide receiver depth chart after signing a three-year, $25.5 million contract ($16 million guaranteed). Earlier that week, Meyers joined the Las Vegas Raiders on a three-year deal worth $33 million ($21 million guaranteed).
Meyers was well worth the extra cash for Las Vegas.
