The Las Vegas Raiders and Josh Jacobs failed to reach a contract extension as the deadline passed on Monday and the running back will be playing the 2023 season on the franchise tag should he sign it.

The Raiders star had his best season yet in 2022, rushing for an NFL-leading 1,653 yards. He also had 12 touchdowns on his way to being a First-Team All-Pro selection for the first time in his career.

The former Alabama standout reacted to a few tweets about the ordeal, but one stood out.

"We never tried to reset the market," Jacobs wrote and denied wanting $16 million annually.

He also retweeted messages of support from running backs Najee Harris, Christian McCaffrey, Austin Ekeler and Derrick Henry.

For Jacobs to play the 2023 season, he will have to sign the one-year franchise tender, which is worth around $10.1 million. He has been clear about his position to sit out training camp and possibly the season if a deal did not get done. Raiders veterans report to training camp on July 25.
