Heading into 2019, running back Jalen Richard will be a restricted free agent. This means that the Raiders will have the opportunity to match any offer another team makes on him. In simple terms, they will have the ability to bring Richard back to Oakland…err wherever they end up playing. But that’s a story for another time.
The Raiders would be smart to keep the elusive back around for numerous reasons. First and foremost, he is an absolute firecracker and good things happen when he has the ball in his hands. Remember this run? Just so happened to be the first touchdown of his career and was pivotal in kicking off that 2016 season where the team finished 12-4.
