Jacobs has been holding out after the two sides failed to reach a long-term agreement in July, refusing to sign a $10.091 million franchise tag. 

Jacobs confirmed the news on X, the company formerly known as Twitter. 

Jacobs led the NFL in rushing in 2022, gaining 1,653 yards on the ground with 12 touchdowns. He played in all 17 games last season and played in 15 games in both the 2020 and 2021 seasons. 

The Raiders are entering a new era after releasing Derek Carr in February. Las Vegas signed veteran quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo in March.
