Josh Jacobs reveals the moment Raiders betrayed his trust

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs relayed a wild story about the beginning of the end of his time with the Las Vegas Raiders.

Jacobs was locked in a holdout with the Raiders ahead of the 2023 season after the team used the franchise tag on him. The two sides ultimately agreed on a one-year, $12 million deal just before the start of the regular season.

In an appearance on the “Bussin’ With The Boys” podcast, Jacobs revealed that as he was preparing to sign his contract, a Raiders employee was waiting outside his vehicle passing information about him along to a reporter.

“Me and Maxx (Crosby) is in the car. Dude comes up to my car, and he’s talking to us. He’s moving his phone around,” Jacobs said. “He’s on the phone with an interviewer, literally on the phone with a reporter while he’s talking to me.

“Any time he had anything to say, and it’d be like, ‘Where are people getting this information from?’ It’s coming from them. It was just a weird situation. It had nothing to do with the Raiders organization. It’s moreso the people that they had in there at the time. … That’s when I knew the relationship was over with.”
