🗣️ Meyers Confirms Exit: “Time for a New Chapter”
In a short but pointed statement released via social media, Meyers wrote:
> “Raider Nation — thank you for the memories, the passion, and the fight. But it’s time for a new chapter. I’ll always carry this journey with me.”
Meyers, 28, joined the Raiders in 2023 after a productive stretch with the New England Patriots. He quickly became a favorite target in Vegas, known for his clutch third-down catches and physicality over the middle. Despite inconsistent quarterback play, he totaled over 1,500 yards and 10 TDs in his two seasons with the team.

🦅 Eagles Pounce: 3-Year Deal on the Table
The Philadelphia Eagles, looking to bolster depth behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, have reportedly moved swiftly to engage with Meyers’ camp. League sources say a 3-year, $10 million contract is on the table, with Meyers expected to compete for WR3 duties and provide veteran leadership.
> “Philly’s looking for reliability and toughness in the slot,” said an NFC East scout. “Meyers checks those boxes.”
With former WR Quez Watkins gone and rising concern about injuries in camp, Meyers could offer immediate value in both starting sets and situational football.

🏈 Raiders WR Room: In Flux Once Again
The departure of Meyers leaves major question marks for a Raiders offense already under pressure. With rookies Dont’e Thornton Jr. and Jack Bech still adjusting to the pro level, and Jakobi previously expected to be WR1, this exit reshuffles the entire receiver hierarchy.
WR Depth (Post-Meyers) Status
WR1 Dont’e Thornton Jr. (R)
WR2 Jack Bech (R)
WR3 Hunter Renfrow (possible return to slot)
WR4 Free Agent TBD

🧠 Pete Carroll Responds
Raiders head coach Pete Carroll, who has now seen Amari Cooper retire, Brock Bowers exit, and now Meyers depart, remained composed in his response:
> “These things happen. Players grow, situations shift. We’re focused on building forward.”
Carroll has reportedly called on team leadership — including QB Geno Smith and TE Michael Mayer — to help rally the offense around its new identity.

📰 Final Word
Jakobi Meyers’ decision to leave Las Vegas marks the end of a brief but impactful tenure. If the deal with the Philadelphia Eagles goes through as expected, he’ll join a franchise hungry for another Super Bowl run — and he’ll bring playoff-tested toughness to a high-powered offense.
> “I’m ready to contribute, wherever I land,” Meyers told reporters late Friday. “And Philly? That would be special.”
An official announcement is expected in the coming days.
