Raiders trade C Jordan Meredith to Jets
The Jets add 28-year-old Jordan Meredith for interior line depth after he started 19 games over the past two seasons, NFL Network reported.
- On Sunday, August 30, 2026, the New York Jets acquired center Jordan Meredith from the Las Vegas Raiders in a trade, bolstering their interior offensive line depth ahead of the 2026 season.
- The Jets pursued the trade after backup center Xavier Newman-Johnson struggled with multiple botched snaps during training camp, creating a critical need for experienced interior line depth.
- Meredith, 28, has appeared in 45 games over four NFL seasons, including 11 starts at center for the Raiders last year, earning a 57.7 overall grade from Pro Football Focus.
- The teams are swapping sixth- and seventh-round picks in the deal, which reunites Meredith with quarterback Geno Smith, his former teammate in Las Vegas last season.
- Las Vegas relegated Meredith to a backup role after signing center Tyler Linderbaum to a three-year, $81 million deal, while the Jets aim to protect their roster after their starting unit played all 17 games last season.
