Hondo, you’re always saying you’re not a fan but rather a journalist. I’m starting to question that. Your comment that he’s “just hurt too often” is just patently not true. He averages 15 games per year. Last year he could probably have played 1 or 2 of the games they sat him, but decided it better to save him. He’s as durable a back as exists in the NFL right now. I think you’re gas-lighting on this issue for the team.
The best ability is availability? You know you are talking about modern day GLADIATORS, right? Spoken like someone who never, ever put their body on the line for sport.😮
What RB in the league plays 17 games? What a stupid excuse, Jacobs plays balls out every game. You pay Minchew 25 mil to sit on the bench yet won’t pay Jacobs who’s on the field 90pct of the time? lol idiots, wonder why the Raiders have been garbage for the last 20 plus years? Thinking like this is why!!!
Listen, we could have kept him and paid him. But we could just as easily payless for a committee of RBs. Its all business. Further, i felt JJ was getting salty towards thr end of 22 and that carried over into 23. Lastly, how many games did JJ win for us last year? Id argue Zues won us more games than josh
Zamir broke out at the end of last year! Raider fans get stuck on certain players and cant let go! Examples…Carr, Hunter, Amik, Josh, Karl Joseph etc! Hell Im more hurt that we cut Jerry Tillery cause he was a dirty sob! 😂
Totally agree. Also, if you are paying RB1 that kind of money – how much are you paying for all of your running backs. If we can get 90% of what JJ can produce for 8-9 million dollars total with 3 backs then it's worth it. Even if you have a $12 mil a year guy, you will still be paying an additional $5-6 million per year on backups that are worth something. It's just the way it is.
I know it's never easy to lose players when they have been, with a team for several years. But like you said in your comments, when it comes down to it it's about what's best for moving the team forward. As we saw, injuries took a toll on his provictivty this last season. Still it's not easy I'm certain, for either side.
Brah you're tripping I'm a Chiefs fan and this guy ran super hard what people like this man is saying he doesn't want to pay the RB he's wrong how many hits has he taken 😅😅😅😅
I respect your opinion but I strongly disagree with your take that Josh wasn’t available. They ran this man into the ground and then complained when he pulled a himi the 14th game of the season. Who has missed more games between Josh Jacobs and Christian Mac in their careers? I betcha you would still take CMac and pay him top dollar if he was available!
CAP HONDO !!! He didn’t miss no freaking 25% of games 😂😂😂😂Omg STRAIGHT CAPPING ! The Raiders made him a deal that wasn’t better than the deal that The Packers made him and he took the best deal for him and his family. The Raiders didn’t move on from Josh it was Josh that moved on from them .
Josh was overrated. He was all or nothing. Yes he's rushed for over 1000 yards 3 times, but you only need to avg. 72 yards a game for that. Yes, he lead the league in rushing with 1653 yards, but again, go look at his game lines? He ran for 93 yards or more in 8 games with one of them being a 229 yard game. He also ran for 78 yards or less in 9 games with 8 of those at 69 or less. Like I said, all or nothing.
No Rb is gonna Play all 17 Games.. JJ Problem is that hes the best there is in a league and was asking more then Raiders wanted to pay. His new contract is almost as bad as last years.. he will be on the market after next year
Disagree Hondo. JJ NOT Injured prone or Unavailable. Kid flew back to play after his Father had a stroke. I'm Surprised he did That with McDumbass as HC!!

What I’ve been saying since he’s been in contract negotiations… I bet he only plays in 10 games this season especially in the cold weather
Name me a starting RB that actually plays all 17 games? RB is a tough position to play period especially if you a 3 down back

Idk, 12mill guaranteed for 4yrs doesn't sound too crazy, considering we paid 12mill for a 1-yr deal this last season
They paid Jimmy Garbage twice that to play like 5 games, Josh was a work horse 3 down back. they could of paid him easy.
Lmao he missed 6 games over 4 seasons. How is that unavailable? Cope.
I see both sides it just sucks to lose a Raider!

Yeah he's been hurt EVERY YEAR PEOPLE get over it. But what I am upset about is not getting ekeler for 5M a year!!! Come on man
You are speaking facts.
100 💯 percent AGREED 👍!! Keep up the good news Hondo

That teams fucked. Another rebuild is on the horizon anyways let's be real.

Why wasn't he signed? Zamir White. He made a 12 mil per year back expendable by running hard
Incentives us how u deal with it but players seem to not want that

He was only Rb on the roster u can run every other play i dont see white taking 30 plus carries a game he is too small.

Josh has not missed that many games. He has played in 90% of regular season games.
No Rb is gonna Play all 17 Games..
JJ Problem is that hes the best there is in a league and was asking more then Raiders wanted to pay.
His new contract is almost as bad as last years.. he will be on the market after next year
He played 73 games out of 80!!! 91 percent of his games!!!! You are a joke!!! Terrible analyst
