Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers spoke to the media on Wednesday afternoon and went into detail about his contract dispute with the team.
Meyers is seeking a new contract as he enters the final year of his current deal, but with nothing getting done, the veteran wideout has reportedly requested a trade.
Despite the negative situation, Meyers hasn't held out and will be taking the field in Week 1 against his former team, the New England Patriots.
Meyers revealed that he believes he deserves an extension after a career year in 2024, but the Raiders apparently disagree, according to Tashan Reed of The Athletic.
"I ain't trippin'," Meyers said of not getting a new deal.
When asked why he didn't hold out amid his desire for a new contract, Meyers said it was because of his loyalty to his teammates.
Meyers said he feels he deserves an extension based on what he did last year, but the team disagreed. Despite that, he said, "I ain't trippin'." https://t.co/Ihqm67O8H0

Meyers posted a career-high 1,027 yards in 2024, which is made more impressive by the fact that he had a terrible quarterback situation.
In 2025, Meyers is tasked with being the team's No. 1 wide receiver and No. 2 pass-catcher behind Brock Bowers, so he's incredibly important to the offense.
If he can put together another season like he had in 2024, Meyers will set himself up for a nice payday in 2026, whether it's from the Raiders or someone else.
