The Las Vegas Raiders' signing of Amari Cooper may signal the team's willingness to honor wideout Jakobi Meyers' trade request.
According to CBS Sports NFL insider John Breech, there are four teams that make sense for potential trade partners for the Raiders.
Those teams include Meyers' former team, the New England Patriots, along with the Pittsburgh Steelers, San Francisco 49ers, and Minnesota Vikings.
The Patriots might make the most sense, as Meyers had success with the Patriots from 2019-22, and some of his best seasons came under current offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels.
"Meyers spent the first four seasons of his career (2019-22) in New England, and a return to Foxboro would actually make a lot of sense," Breech writes. "During his first three years with the Patriots, his offensive coordinator was Josh McDaniels, and McDaniels is now back in New England as the OC, so Meyers would likely be able to quickly learn the offense."
The Steelers have a need at wide receiver, as they are thin beyond their top option, DK Metcalf.
"The Steelers don't really have a reliable receiver behind Metcalf, so the addition of Meyers could do wonders," Breech said. "It would give the Steelers a true No. 2 receiving threat, which would likely take some pressure off Metcalf."
The 49ers have a host of injured receivers, including Brandon Aiyuk, Jauan Jennings, Jordan Watkins, Jacob Cowing, and Russell Gage.
Finally, the Vikings have been active in attempting to add to the receiver room in recent days. Meyers could certainly fill that need.
"The Vikings have been looking to add a receiver for over a week now," Breech said. "Minnesota has reached out to the Panthers about possibly making a deal to reunite with Adam Thielen, but nothing has come of those talks so far. If they can't get a deal done to acquire Thielen, the Vikings could pick up the phone and see what it would take for them to acquire Meyers from the Raiders."
