Tom Pelissero reports that RB Josh Jacobs was spotted leaving Las Vegas at an airport and it appears that he “doesn’t plan to return anytime soon.”
At this point, it seems as though Jacobs is content to bide his time as contract negotiations remain at a stalemate between himself and the Raiders, and the holdout has begun.
While the level of concern for Jacobs’ availability for the 2023 season will continue to rise as we get closer to the regular season, the price will simultaneously continue to fall in drafts, making Jacobs a potential value down the line depending on how quickly the situation is resolved.
It’s hard to imagine both Saquon Barkley and Jacobs sitting out enough time in 2023 – if any – to hurt their fantasy value, but as has been the case so far this offseason, the situation is worth keeping a close eye on.
