BREAKING: WR Jakobi Meyers Announces Plans to Leave Las Vegas Raiders if Coach Pete Carroll Secures Tyreek Hill on Long-Term Deal
In a shocking twist to the NFL offseason, wide receiver Jakobi Meyers has declared his intention to leave the Las Vegas Raiders if Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll successfully locks down Tyreek Hill on a long-term deal. Sources close to Meyers have revealed that the 27-year-old wideout, who signed a three-year contract with the Raiders earlier this offseason, is reassessing his future with the team due to the potential arrival of Hill.
Meyers, who had a standout 2023 season with the Raiders, registering 80 receptions for 860 yards and 7 touchdowns, expressed his concerns about the impact Hill’s addition could have on the team’s offense and his role within it. “I’m not here to play second fiddle, especially when I’ve worked hard to be a top option,” Meyers reportedly said in private discussions.
The Seahawks, who have been making headlines in recent weeks for their interest in Hill, are in pursuit of a long-term deal with the speedy receiver, who has expressed his desire to secure a significant contract extension. Hill, one of the league’s most dynamic playmakers, currently has one year remaining on his contract with the Miami Dolphins, but rumors of him potentially joining Seattle have been gaining momentum.
Pete Carroll, known for his aggressive approach to building his roster, has been vocal about his interest in acquiring a top-tier wide receiver to complement star quarterback Geno Smith and improve an already potent offense. Sources close to the Seahawks indicate that they are prepared to offer Hill a massive deal, potentially putting Meyers’ future in jeopardy.
While it remains unclear whether the Seahawks will ultimately land Hill, Meyers’ declaration has added another layer of uncertainty to the Raider’s offseason plans. The Raiders, who are also navigating a quarterback transition with Jimmy Garoppolo taking over, will have to address the possibility of losing Meyers if Hill heads to Seattle.
As the situation unfolds, all eyes will be on the Seattle Seahawks and their pursuit of Hill, as well as the impact it could have on the balance of power in the NFL’s NFC West.
