One of the biggest stories of the first day of the NFL’s legal tampering period was how fast the running back market moved.
It was certainly not the depressed market it was in recent years. The Las Vegas Raiders, of course, were affected by Monday’s swift movement as they saw star tailback Josh Jacobs bolt to the Green Bay Packers for a strong deal.
The Raiders wanted to retain their 2019 first-round pick, but they had a certain price tag they wouldn’t pass. The Packers did, though, and Jacobs is on the move.
Now, of course, the Raiders have a need for a running back.
