Former Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers has agreed to terms with the Raiders, a team source said.
Here’s what you need to know:
Meyers will ink a three-year deal worth a maximum of $33 million, including $21 million in guaranteed money.
Meyers caught 67 passes for 804 and a career-high six touchdowns with the Patriots in 2022.
The 6-foot-2 receiver signed with New England as an undrafted free agent in 2019. He’s caught 235 career passes for 2,758 career yards, leading the Patriots in yards the past three seasons.
The undrafted 26-year-old has put himself in position to cash in on his breakout performances over the last three years. Meyers entered free agency as the wide receiver market is ballooning — and in a free-agent class where he may be the best at his position. It’s also another tie-in with former Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, who’s heading into his second season as Raiders head coach.
The Patriots wanted him back after he led the team in receiving yards in three straight seasons. And without him, the team’s wide receiver room looks rather bleak at the moment.
