During the NFL season, fans often ask, “How much does Josh Jacobs get paid?” The answer is very simple and depends on several factors. The player’s performance and other factors. In this article, you’ll learn more about the rushing yards and missed tackles he has accumulated so far in his career. You’ll also find out how his pay scale is calculated and what the future looks like for him.
Pay scale
Considering the pay scale of running backs in the NFL, Joshua Jacobs is in a pretty good position. He’s got a relatively low base salary of $2.122 million, plus a $1.675 million prorated signing bonus. That’s not a huge number, but it’s pretty close to the average of the 11 players who make more than $5 million per year.
Assuming the Raiders aren’t going to exercise their fifth-year option on the 24-year-old’s contract, the club would have had an $8 million dollar cap hit in 2022. But the Raiders may not have needed to tack on another $1 million in base salary to cover their losses.
Career stats
Despite missing two games, Jacobs has rushed for more than 1,000 yards in each of his first two seasons, setting a Raiders franchise record. The Raiders also won Super Bowl XI with him playing a major role.
He was the starting running back from the get-go and has been a top fantasy player for most of the season. His nine rushing touchdowns ranked eighth among the NFL’s RBs. In fact, he has never failed to score in 15 outings. He was also named the SEC Championship Game MVP.
He has accumulated more than 700 yards in nine games this season. He has scored eight touchdowns in those nine games.
Future outlook
Despite a solid third season, there are still some questions surrounding the future of Raiders running back Josh Jacobs. The front office declined to exercise the fifth-year option in Jacobs’ contract, leaving the player’s future uncertain. It will be interesting to see what the Raiders decide to do with Jacobs in free agency.
With the addition of a strong runner in Devin White, the Raiders may not need to prioritize the running back position as much. It will be interesting to see what the team does in the offseason, since a big investment could be made in a cornerback or linebacker group.
