The former Alabama ball-carrier practiced with the NFL team on Wednesday for the first time since the end of the 2022 season.
ball-carrier won the NFL rushing crown in 2022 as he ran for 1,653 yards and 12 touchdowns on 340 carries. He also led the league in yards from scrimmage with another 400 yards on 53 receptions.
“I know that’s kind of hard to say with the year I had, but it was a lot I definitely left on the field. Just to come back and see the O-line another year in this system and how much of an improvement they have made since I came back, man, it’s been crazy. It’s just gotten me re-excited, honestly.”The impasse began when Las Vegas used its franchise tag to prevent Jacobs from becoming a free agent in March. The franchise tag guaranteed Jacobs a $10.
Jacobs got a $2.5 million signing bonus, which leaves $7.591 million as his base salary for the 2023 season. With another $1.9 million available in participation and performance incentives, Jacobs could earn $11.991 million.. “One of the hardest things in football to do is watch, at least for a guy like me. And so I was itching to get back, man, so just to be able to come and make it make sense for both parties, it was definitely huge.
“But at the end of the day, I wanted to play football. I wanted to be here with the guys, so I’m just glad it worked out.”Jacobs said
