Jaguars acquiring Jakobi Meyers from Raiders after Travis Hunter injury in NFL trade deadline splash
NY Post
Jakobi Meyers could’ve just joined the Jaguars on their flight back to Jacksonville.
Entrenched in the playoff picture after nine weeks, the Jaguars addressed their lack of receiving depth after Travis Hunter’s injury and an apparent Brian Thomas Jr. ankle issue by acquiring Jakobi Meyers — pending a physical — from the Raiders, the team announced Tuesday.
Jacksonville, which earned a thrilling 30-29 overtime win against Las Vegas on Sunday, is sending back fourth- and sixth-round picks for the seventh-year receiver, who has collected 352 yards this season and will be a free agent after the season.
It marked the first true splash of deadline day across the NFL — with Meyers also drawing interest from the Bills and Steelers, per The Athletic — after the Cowboys acquired Logan Wilson from the Bengals early Tuesday morning, and it officially ended a strange marriage between the Raiders and Meyers.
