Raiders Trade Jordan Meredith to Jets, Reunites with Geno Smith

The Las Vegas Raiders have traded offensive lineman Jordan Meredith to the New York Jets, marking a reunion with Geno Smith, his former teammate. This trade involved a swap of sixth and seventh round picks for 2027, as reported by NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Meredith, who started at center for the Raiders in Week 1 last season, faced challenges in securing the position and was at risk of being cut before the trade. The Raiders opted to trade him instead of releasing him, allowing them to clear up their interior offensive line situation while gaining a small asset.

In New York, Meredith is expected to provide versatile depth on the interior line rather than stepping in as an immediate starter. His future role remains uncertain, with a potential shift back to guard being more likely given his past performance.
