Raiders sign WR Jakobi Meyers to 3-year deal

  the Las Vegas Raiders have signed wide receiver Jakobi Meyers to a three-year deal. Meyers, who was previously with the New England Patriots, is coming off a career-best season in 2020 where he caught 59 passes for 729 yards and no touchdowns.

This move makes sense for the Raiders, who have been in need of a reliable receiver to complement their star receiver Darren Waller. Meyers has shown he can be a consistent target in the passing game, and his ability to make tough catches in traffic will be a valuable asset for the team.

Meyers went undrafted in 2019 but quickly made an impact in his rookie season with the Patriots, catching 26 passes for 359 yards and no touchdowns. He continued to improve in 2020, becoming one of the team's top receivers.

While Meyers may not be a flashy signing, he brings a solid work ethic and an ability to contribute in multiple areas, including special teams. The Raiders will hope he can continue to develop and become a reliable option for quarterback Derek Carr.
