“Cold world lol,” wrote Meyers.

Meyers agreed to join the Raiders on Tuesday, netting a 3-year deal worth $33 million. The Patriots and Smith-Schuster reportedly agreed to a deal worth 3-years and $33 million.

Even though Meyers said at the end of the year that he wanted to remain in New England, the Patriots chose to go with Smith-Schuster.

Meyers thanked the Patriots in a statement on Instagram:

“These last 4 years in New England have been the best years of my life,” Meyers wrote. “I can’t thank Coach Belichick and the entire staff enough for taking a chance on an undrafted free agent and developing me into the player and person I am today.

Thank you to all of the fans who supported me on this journey. I strive to be an inspiration to all the young kids watching every Sunday. It was nothing but love and I’ll always be thankful for that. Thank you to all of my teammates who pushed me to be better each and every day. I couldn’t have done it without you boys and we built bonds that will last a lifetime. With that being said, I couldn’t be more excited for my next chapter.”
