Report: Raiders inking Jakobi Meyers to 3-year, $33M contract

The Las Vegas Raiders are signing wide receiver Jakobi Meyers to a three-year, $33-million contract that includes $21 million fully guaranteed, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Meyers confirmed he's joining the Raiders to Josina Anderson of CBS Sports HQ. The 26-year-old spent the previous four seasons with the New England Patriots after joining them as an undrafted free agent in 2019.

"It's hard to turn down Las Vegas," he said. "When you look at their offense, when you look at their coaches - they wanted me, and I wanted them. Unfortunately, it didn't work out with the Patriots. I put in a lot of effort in my time there. I appreciate them, but God works in mysterious ways. I'm blessed."

The NC State product led the Patriots with 804 receiving yards last season while adding six touchdowns.

Meyers will be reunited with Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels, who previously served as New England's offensive coordinator. He's expected to join Davante Adams and Hunter Renfrow as receiving options for new Las Vegas quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo.

Meyers racked up 235 receptions for 2,758 yards and eight touchdowns over four seasons with the Patriots.
