The Raiders and running back Josh Jacobs could not agree on a contract by the extension deadline for franchise-tagged players, which means the running back is set to sit out training camp. Jacobs still hasn’t signed the $10.91 million tender, Jacobs cannot be fined for not showing up to training camp.
Jacobs led the league in rushing last season with 1,653 yards and 12 touchdowns. Wide receiver Davante Adams recently spoke about the situation said that the team needs Jacobs if they want to compete for a championship.
“If we really want to have a shot at winning the Super Bowl and having all the elite aspirations that we do, we're gonna need that guy,” Adams said, via NFL.com. “So I’m praying that we can still figure something out, but also understanding where Josh is coming from and trying to coach him through it at the same time.”
