Despite the team’s current focus on the NFL draft, they also had to think about whether or not to pick up the fifth-year options on three players who they had selected in the first round of the 2019 draft.
The Raiders had selected Clelin Ferrell (4th overall), Josh Jacobs (24 overall) and Johnathan Abram (27 overall) in that draft. Now is the time they had to decided whether they would accept the fifth-year option on their rookie contract or to make 2022 the final year on those deals.
In the end, they opted not to pick up their fifth round options.
