"That window kind of just closed with the offseason in it," Meyers said. "If it gets done, I don't care for real. I really just want to be in a good spot for me [and] my family."
Meyers added that he hasn't spoken with the team about his trade request as of late. He said he is focused on staying in the moment despite being a subject of trade rumors because Las Vegas sits in last place in the AFC West at 2-5.
"[The Raiders] know how I feel," Meyers said. "It's no reason for me to keep going back crying to them, 'Can you get me out of here?'
"If you move me, you move me. But in the meantime, I got some real people that I care about next to me, so I'm trying to make sure I'm being my best self for them."
During this time of the year, Meyers said the team tries to make light of the uncertainty.
He mentioned how the players will make jokes whenever they see their names appear in trade discussions: "Like, what time is your flight? It's all fun and games," he said.
"Everybody is a comedian around this thing, and I'm cool with it," Meyers said. "I like hearing the jokes as long as guys are willing to talk about it. If they got an issue, I'll be open with them."
Meyers missed Sunday's 31-0 loss at the Kansas City Chiefs because of a knee and toe injury he sustained against the Tennessee Titans on Oct. 12. He was sidelined for two days of practice before returning to the field on Friday. Meyers warmed up ahead of kickoff but decided it was best for him not to play.
He practiced Tuesday, and he plans to be available following the Raiders' bye week for the Nov. 2 matchup against the visiting Jacksonville Jaguars.
"It wasn't cool sitting on the bench watching guys lose like that," Meyers said of Sunday's outing. "I definitely just want to go out there, do my part [and] hopefully bring a little spark to the offense."
In 97 career games (76 starts), Meyers has registered 422 catches for 4,921 yards and 20 touchdowns. He totaled a career-best 1,027 receiving yards in 2024, and he has recorded at least 800 yards in four consecutive seasons. Through six games in 2025, Meyers has 29 catches for 329 yards.
Despite the Raiders' struggles, especially on offense (three games with fewer than 10 points scored), Meyers said the team has remained close.
"Everybody still very much care about winning. We're out here fighting," Meyers said. "It's a new regime. We are trying."
