New England Patriots - NESN.com
As the NFL Trade deadline approaches the Patriots are back in familiar territory.
Talk of the Pats buying instead of being sellers has finally returned for the first time since 2021. Also the last season that Jakobi Meyers playing winning football as he amassed over 850 receiving yards while the Mac Jones led Patriots won 10 games.
While the offense looks vastly different in New England now as the Pats are led by Drake Maye in the midst of an MVP caliber season a reunion with Jakobi Meyers would be just what the Patriots need.
Enter the price for a 29, soon-to-be 30 year old WR. NFL insider Jordan Schultz reports that the price the Raiders are seeking is a day two pick in the NFL draft. A third rounder for a WR that needs an extension? Sign me up.
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler ranked the top 25 players he could see being moved before the deadline and dropped this nugget about Meyers and the Raiders, “There’s no consensus leaguewide on exactly what Las Vegas will do. Multiple execs told me they believe the team is open to a deal but is not actively looking for trade partners.”
While Meyers is three years older than his last time playing for the Patriots he is still productive. Amassing 87 catches for over 1,000 yards last season he is on pace for 82 receptions and 930 yards this year. He is experienced in Josh McDaniels offense and has always been a reliable weapon.

Kashon Boutte has been the Patriots answer for the deep ball as Stefon Diggs has been their guy in the slot but New England could use a big bodied receiver over the middle and the price for Meyers should be perfect for a team that is currently the two-seed in the AFC.
