Throughout the course of the years, the Las Vegas Raiders have made countless questionable decisions.
The Jon Gruden era was just a string of terrible choices one after another, from poor decisions in the NFL Draft to terrible asset management and even worse trades.
That’s why they cannot afford to do the same thing now.
With that in mind, James Jones, via The Carton Show, urged the team to exhaust all avenues and find a way to get Josh Jacobs paid, citing that he’s their only chance to win some games and make it to the playoffs.
“The Las Vegas Raiders have to find a way to get Josh Jacobs in that building if they want to have an opportunity to get to the playoffs and win some football games.”

Truth be told, Jacobs might as well be the most underrated running back in the league.
It seems like everyone — but the Raiders — realize just how special and consistent he is, and he’s been extremely durable for a guy playing that position as well.
Jacobs has always affirmed his desire to stay and play for the Raiders organization for his entire career, but it seems like the team has been hesitant to make that kind of commitment.
He was on the trade block to start last season, and new head coach Josh McDaniels even showcased him with a heavy workload in the preseason, but they eventually decided to hold on to him.
Now, they need to make sure that relationship lasts for many more years, especially with all those doubts surrounding the quarterback position, and given how much QB Jimmy Garoppolo has historically relied on the running game to move the chains.
