The Jaguars made a major move ahead of Tuesday’s NFL trade deadline, acquiring wide receiver Jakobi Meyers from the Raiders.
The deal—which sends a fourth- and a sixth-round pick to Las Vegas in exchange for the veteran—adds an experienced pass catcher to quarterback Trevor Lawrence’s arsenal in Jacksonville as they continue to build on their 5–3 start to the 2025 season.

What the trade also does, frankly, is add an extra body to the Jaguars’ wide receiver room after they placed WR/DB Travis Hunter on injured reserve last week with a knee injury. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the rookie is not expected to be out long-term, so the addition of Meyers will both add stability now and eventually contribute to what could be considered a loaded group once everyone is healthy.
Here’s a look at the Jaguars’ revamped wide receiver room following their trade for Meyers.
