Former Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs is officially a Green Bay Packers. He’s signed a four-year contract with the team and is moving on after five seasons with the Raiders.
Over his time in Las Vegas, Jacobs developed into one of the faces of the franchise and a team leader. Wide receiver Davante Adams has only been with the Raiders for two years but he quickly formed a strong relationship with Jacobs.
Adams took his time reacting to the news that the running back was joining his former team. In a March 15 Instagram story, Adams finally reacted to the news and said it’s going to “sting” losing the former rushing champion.
Jacobs made two Pro Bowls in his time with the Raiders and rushed for 5,545 yards, which is the third-most in franchise history. Had he been able to get a long-term deal in Las Vegas, he may have surpassed Marcus Allen’s 8,545 rushing yards for most ever. Jacobs won’t be easily replaceable as it’s clear he had a major impact on the locker room.
