The Las Vegas Raiders are just 2-5 on the season and are widely expected to sell off some pieces by the NFL trade deadline, and wide receiver Jakobi Meyers could be among them. Meyers has made it clear that he would be very open to being dealt, and with the 29-year-old in the final year of his contract, it makes sense for the Raiders to unload him.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter has revealed the three teams who have been most aggressive in pursuing wide receiver help with Meyers available, and one of them was the Denver Broncos. The Broncos are 6-2 and are challenging the Kansas City Chiefs for AFC supremacy in Bo Nix’s second year, but they could afford to add some more weapons for the young quarterback, especially with Marvin Mims having a disappointing first half of the 2025 campaign. INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA – OCTOBER 05: Pete Carroll of the Las Vegas Raiders looks on against the Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium on October 05, 2025 in Indianapolis, Indiana. Of course, the question is whether or not Las Vegas would actually move Meyers to an AFC West rival. Schefter added that the Raiders would only trade Meyers if they received a strong enough offer in return and that no such offer has materialized yet. You also have to figure that Las Vegas would ask for more from Denver than it would from the Pittsburgh Steelers or Buffalo Bills, two other clubs pushing for help in their respective wide receiver rooms. Meyers is now in his third season with the Raiders and has logged 29 catches for 329 yards in six games. He missed Las Vegas’ most recent contest in Week 7 due to a couple of minor injuries. The Raiders signed Meyers in 2023 and watched as he exploded for his first 1,000-yard showing in 2024, hauling in 87 receptions for 1,027 yards and four touchdowns.

The Broncos could then move Troy Franklin down to their No. 3 receiver, which would put Mims in the No. 4 spot. Las Vegas declined to give Meyers a contract extension before the season, so it would be remiss not to move him by the Nov. 4 deadline. We’ll see what happens, though.
