2023 Outlook
Depth Chart
A year ago, the Raiders were so unimpressed by Jacobs that they decided not to pick up his fifth-year option after he managed just 872 yards in 2021. That was a miscalculation. Under new head coach Josh McDaniels, Jacobs became the focal point of Las Vegas' offense, and he responded by setting career highs in carries (340), rushing yards (1,653 -- that led the NFL), and receiving yards (400). He also caught 53 passes and matched a personal best with a dozen touchdowns.

It was a redemptive season for the Alabama product, and not surprisingly the Raiders wound up having to use the franchise tag to keep him off the market. That's made things a bit dicey for 2023, as Jacobs and the team couldn't agree on a long-term deal, and there are rumblings that he could hold out through training camp and possibly into the regular season as well. There's also a possibility that his heavy workload last year, where he logged 393 combined touches, could cause durability problems, which is something we saw last year with Indianapolis Colts RB Jonathan Taylor.

Assuming he decides to sign his franchise tender and not miss regular season action, Jacobs enters 2023 as a solid RB1. While the issue of last year's heavy usage is real, he's only 25 and has been mostly durable during his four seasons.

News From The Past 90 Days
Aaron Jones out in Green Bay, Josh Jacobs in
Packers making moves at running back
By: Mike Krueger | Mon Mar 11, 3:11 pm

Green Bay Packers
After reaching agreement today with free-agent RB Josh Jacobs, the Packers informed RB Aaron Jones that he is being released, per source. Jones now will be a free agent. (Adam Schefter on X)

FFToday's Take: Jones had a cap hit of $17 million this season which needed to be reduced. With the two sides failing to renegotiate, Jones will be released and can now sign with any team, which probably won't take long. Jacobs (26) will now move into the starting running back role in Green Bay while AJ Dillon is a free agent. Jacobs racked up 270 touches last season but only had 3.5 yards carry.


No RBs expected to the get the franchise tag
Deep free agent RB class in 2024
By: Mike Krueger | Mon Feb 26, 2:53 pm

New York Giants
This offseason stands in contrast to 2023, when Josh Jacobs, Saquon Barkley, Tony Pollard received franchise tags. This offseason, it appears no RBs will be tagged, making this one of the finest and deepest RB classes in the history of free agency. (Adam Schefter on X)

FFToday's Take: The 2024 free agent RB class is stacked with Jacobs, Barkley, Pollard, Derrick Henry and Austin Ekeler. The question is, what kind of deals are these veterans going to get? We've seen the market slowly dry up for veteran RBs over the last few years with Jacobs and Barkley settling for one-year deals just last season. Alvin Kamara and Aaron Jones are also cut candidates given the money their going to count against the salary cap this season.
