Las Vegas wide receiver Jakobi Meyers requested to be traded but the Raiders have no plans to do so, NFL Network and ESPN reported Monday.

Meyers, who is entering the final season of a three-year, $33 million deal, reportedly initially attempted to renegotiate his contract but the two sides could not come to an agreement on new terms.

Meyers is owed $10.5 million in guaranteed salary in 2025.

Meyers met with team brass recently to request a trade, but the Raiders cited his value as a reason they have no plans to trade the 28-year-old, according to ESPN.

One of the team's top pass catchers, Meyers had 87 receptions for 1,027 yards -- both career-high marks -- and four touchdowns in 15 games (all starts) last season.

Meyers, who is entering his seventh NFL season, has 393 catches for 4,592 yards and 20 touchdowns in 91 games (70 starts) with the New England Patriots (2019-2022) and Raiders.
