Today the Raiders announced they have re-signed running back Jalen Richard, who signed his second-round RFA tender the team placed on him earlier this year. It will pay Richard a little over $3 million this season.
Richard joined the Raiders in 2016 as an undrafted free agent out of Southern Miss after impressing at a rookie minicamp tryout. He busted out a long touchdown run against the New Orleans Saints in his first regular season game and has hung on as a primary backup running back ever since.
