Josh Jacobs Wants To Stay In Vegas

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs, who earned a selection as a first-team All-Pro in 2022, said he'd like to remain with the team. Jacobs played in every game, won the rushing crown with 1,653 yards and led the league with 2,053 scrimmage yards. However, since the team declined his fifth-year option last offseason, he's set to be an unrestricted free agent in March. If Vegas can't come to an agreement with Jacobs on a multi-year contract, they could use the exclusive franchise tag, which is projected to be $16.5 million. Jacobs said he wants to stay in Vegas, but he also made it clear he wouldn't be happy with the franchise tag in 2023. If he's tagged, he could request a trade to a team that would negotiate a contract to his liking. "This is where I want to be," Jacobs said. "I feel like I've left my mark on this organization." Regardless of where he's playing in 2023, Jacobs should be a high-end RB1 in fantasy.
