Team news: Las Vegas Raiders

Josh McDaniels reiterated today that he is not exploring a trade to ship Jacobs out of Las Vegas.

This is probably worse in fantasy land than if they simply found him a new home. It certainly raised some eyebrows when veteran Jacobs got some run in the Hall of Fame Game last week, a contest typically reserved for backups and players fighting for a spot on the roster, not RB1s. The Raiders already had Kenyan Drake in Jacobs' RB room before the team added Ameer Abdullah, Brandon Bolden, and fourth-round pick Zamir White. Jacobs is getting squeezed in every direction, but most discouraging, in the receiving game, where he doubled his career reception total in 2021 en route to his RB16 finish.

Rookie running back Zamir White has impressed after missing the first two days of camp with an undisclosed injury.

“He’s tough, has good contact balance, and you can see the growth in a new system,” running backs coach Kennedy Polamalu said.

Jacobs finished RB16 last season with the 19th-highest per game production. He was RB9/RB13 the previous year. He was 13th in touches per game in 2021, so the workload was there despite so-so efficiency. He’s the RB22 off the board in early drafts, which makes some sense given the arrival of new HC Josh McDaniels, who ran an offense in New England that regularly featured multiple backs in various roles.

The Las Vegas Raiders are signing WR Demarcus Robinson to a one-year deal.

Robinson will compete for outside WR duties in three-wide sets but ultimately takes a downgrade at quarterback for a similar role that he had in Kansas City.

The Green Bay Packers have traded WR Davante Adams to the Las Vegas Raiders for draft picks. Adams has agreed to a multi-year deal with the Raiders.

This is a left turn as Adams said he would not play on the franchise tag. Adams reunites with Derek Carr, his college teammate. Adams has shown his ability to produce regardless of QB. The Packers are now anemic at wideout.

The Green Bay Packers have placed their franchise tag on WR Davante Adams.

With Aaron Rodgers back in the fold, one would imagine the Packers try to sign Adams for however long they sign Rodgers. Arguably the best 1-2 combo on offense is back together in Green Bay.

The Green Bay Packers are reportedly re-signing QB Aaron Rodgers to a 4-year, $200 million deal with $153 million guaranteed.

Sell your Jordan Love dynasty stocks, folks. Rodgers is now signed to play into his 40s with the same franchise that drafted him.

Raiders RB Josh Jacobs (ribs) and TE Darren Waller (knee) were limited Wednesday.

Expect the same leading up to their game against Cincinnati, especially with cold weather expected.
