Silver And Black Pride
Last week, at the NFL trade deadline, the Las Vegas Raiders only made one trade as they sent starting wide receiver Jakobi Meyers to the Jacksonville Jaguars for fourth and sixth-round picks in 2026.
New general manager John Spytek didn’t pull off any other trades.
There had been some chatter that centered around tight end Michael Mayer, guard Jackson Powers-Johnson, cornerback Eric Stokes and pass-rusher Malcolm Koonce. But in the end, the Raiders decided not to go in full fire-sale mode even though they were 2-6 at the deadline.
Our community members mostly agreed with the approach. Nearly 90 percent of our poll takers were pleased with the Meyer trade while a poll asking the fans were happy there was just one trade or if fans wanted more deal was split about evenly.
I think the Raiders had no choice but to trade Meyer, a pending free agent who wanted out, and I think they did well. I see both sides of the trade deadline approach.
