Bills on Verge of Landing Raiders Field-Stretcher WR for Josh Allen with Trade Deadline Approaching

Jakobi Meyers is Right on the Edge of Top-5 NFL Wide Receivers in NC State  History - Pack Insider

Buffalo, NY – October 2, 2025

The Buffalo Bills are on the cusp of making a major move at the NFL trade deadline. After a 4-0 start, the team is preparing to add a field-stretcher to balance Josh Allen’s passing attack.

Buffalo has thrived offensively, ranking second in points scored, but the lack of a true vertical weapon has been evident. Boundary receivers have combined for just 341 yards and one touchdown through four games.

With the trade deadline nearing, reports indicate that the Bills are finalizing talks with an AFC West team to acquire a proven playmaker. The deal would involve mid-round draft compensation and could be completed within days.

That player is Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers, who requested a trade before the season and is now seen as an ideal fit for Buffalo. On an expiring deal, Meyers has already logged 21 catches for 258 yards.

The proposed exchange would send a fifth-round pick to Las Vegas, giving Buffalo a receiver capable of stretching defenses and filling the void left by Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis last season.

 

For the Raiders, currently bottom of the AFC West, the move makes sense financially and strategically. They clear cap space, gain draft capital, and part ways with a veteran unlikely to stay long-term.

Offensive coordinator Joe Brady has hinted at expanding Joshua Palmer’s role in recent weeks, but adding Meyers would immediately elevate Buffalo’s depth chart and bring balance to the “everybody eats” philosophy.

If completed, the trade would mark the Bills’ second consecutive year making a deadline splash at receiver — but this time, the addition looks far more aligned with Josh Allen’s deep-ball strengths.

Chiefs Fan-Favourite WR Faces Family Tragedy After Week 5 Game as Military-Trained Skydiving Instructor Dies in Nashville
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice is mourning a devastating personal loss following the team’s Week 5 matchup, as his cousin Justin Fuller, a respected military-trained skydiving instructor, died in a tragic tandem jump accident near Nashville. Fuller, 35, was fatally injured after becoming separated from his parachute harness mid-air during a jump organized by Go Skydive Nashville. His student survived after landing in a tree with the parachute deployed and was later rescued by firefighters. Police confirmed Fuller’s body was recovered in a wooded area off Ashland City Highway. The Nashville Fire Department called it “one of the most complex high-angle rescues in recent years,” commending its personnel for the effort. Justin Fuller, known by the nickname "Spidey," died after a tandem skydiving jump went wrong on Oct. 4, 2025, near Nashville, Tennessee.  (Facebook/Justin Fuller Spidey ) Fuller, known affectionately as “Spidey,” had completed more than 5,000 jumps and trained U.S. military personnel in advanced aerial maneuvers. Friends described him as “fearless, focused, and committed to lifting others higher — both in life and in the air.” Rice, who grew up admiring his cousin’s discipline and sense of purpose, has long credited that example with shaping his mental toughness and leadership on the field. A relative told local media, “Justin taught Rashee that strength isn’t being unbreakable — it’s standing firm when life hits hardest. That’s exactly how Rashee lives and plays today.” As a featured target in the Chiefs’ offense, Rice has earned complete trust for his short-to-intermediate separation, yards-after-catch power (YAC), and chemistry with quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Coaches describe him as “calm, focused, and mature beyond his years,” a disciplined route-runner who finds tight windows in the red zone. Through Week 5 of the 2025 season, Rice has no registered game statistics as he serves a league-issued six-game suspension to start the regular season; major stat services list no 2025 game logs to date.  The Kansas City Chiefs have provided time and private support for Rice and his family, ensuring he can grieve without team-related obligations. Teammates have stood beside him, honoring both his resilience and his family’s tradition of service. The FAA is investigating the incident, while messages commemorating “Spidey” continue to spread nationwide.“He taught others to fly — now he flies higher than all of us,” one tribute read. Rice kept his public remarks brief before leaving in the embrace of teammates:“Spidey always told me not to fear the height — only the moment you forget to look down and pull someone else up with you. This week, I’m playing for him.”
