Former All-ACC NC State WR Jakobi Meyers Requests a Trade

Former All-ACC NC State Wide Receiver Jakobi Meyers was hoping to get a contract extension from the Raiders prior to the start of the 2025 season. Las Vegas wasn’t interested in extending Meyers’ contract at this point, and the former Wolfpacker has requested a trade as a result.

Meyers is entering the final year of his 3-year $33 million contract, but due to the structuring of the deal, he is set to make right under $15 million in 2025.

This past season, Meyers crossed 1,000 yards in a single season for the first time in his NFL career, finishing with 87 receptions for 1,027 yards and 4 touchdowns.

The former Wolfpack player has been in the league for 6 seasons now, and has already established himself as one of the best undrafted receivers to ever play in the NFL.

Last year, Meyers passed legendary Tight End Antonio Gates for the 4th most receptions by an undrafted receiver through their first 90 games.

He is 1 of 11 undrafted receivers to ever have a 1,000 yard season.

Meyers is 1 of only 5 undrafted receivers to have 700+ yards receiving in 5 of their first 6 seasons, joining Antonio Gates, Drew Pearson, Gary Clark and Rob Moore.

Meyers’ 4,592 career receiving yards in the NFL are the 5th most ever by an NC State receiver.

1. Torry Holt – 13,382
2. Jerricho Cotchery – 6,623
3. Mike Quick – 6,464
4. Haywood Jeffires – 6,334
5. Jakobi Meyers – 4,592
6. Koren Robinson – 4,244
7. Ted Brown (RB)- 2,850
8. Alex Webster (RB) – 2,679
9. Nyheim Hines (RB) – 1,778
10. Dick Christy (RB) – 1,473

He currently ranks 4th in school history in career NFL receptions.

1. Torry Holt – 920
2. Haywood Jeffires – 535
3. Jerricho Cotchery – 524
4. Jakobi Meyers – 393
5. Mike Quick – 363
6. Ted Brown (RB) – 339
7. Koren Robinson – 294
8. Alex Webster (RB) – 240
8. Nyheim Hines (RB) – 240
10. Dick Christy (RB) – 132

Meyers’ 168 career receptions at NC State rank 7th in school history. Without Thayer Thomas getting an extra year due to the extra Covid-19 season, Meyers would rank 6th. Meyers’ 1,932 career receiving yards rank 10th (would rank 9th).

Not bad for a former 2-star prospect who came to NC State as a Quarterback, who was formerly committed to Kent State.
