Josh Jacobs and the Raiders: Exploring the contract options as training camp begins

New York Times  

The Raiders hold their first training camp practice Wednesday, and they’ll do it without Josh Jacobs. The Raiders may not want to franchise-tag Jacobs again — their unwillingness to guarantee two years’ worth of franchise tags in an extension signals that may be a price they aren’t willing to pay — or give him an extension next offseason, but he could at least set himself up to have other suitors if he has another strong season in 2023. “But anything can certainly change in that regard.” It’s unclear whether the contract Barkley signed — or even a slightly higher offer — would sway Jacobs. 5: The Raiders rescind Jacobs’ franchise-tag offer The last resort for the Raiders would be to rescind Jacobs’ franchise-tag offer and allow him to become an unrestricted free agent.
