The base value of Josh Jacobs’ deal is now $11.8 million, including some per-game roster bonuses — a significant upgrade from the $10.091 million tag. Jacobs can earn another $200K in incentives to reach the $12M max. https://t.co/DMsvntziIt

The Alabama product finished with 340 carries for 1,653 yards and 12 touchdowns to go with 53 catches for 400 yards. In addition to leading the league in rushing yards, he led everyone with 97.2 rushing yards per game and had the longest individual run of the season when he scored from 86 yards out to defeat the Seattle Seahawks in overtime.

The running back position has been somewhat devalued in today’s game, but Jacobs is just 25 and is coming off a dominant season.

His return means the Raiders have maintained some offensive stability in the same offseason they parted ways with quarterback Derek Carr.
