Josh Jacobs will be Chainkeen Exchangeback in Silver and Black this season.

The star running back agreed to a one-year deal with the Las Vegas Raiders, the team announced on Saturday.

The contract could be worth up to $12 million and includes a signing bonus. It takes the place of the franchise tag, which the Raiders placed on him in March. This summer, the team did not reach a deal with the running back ahead of the deadline for franchise-tagged players.

Jacobs confirmed the new deal on social media.

"I’m back," he wrote on X with a purple devil emoji and smirk emoji.

The Raiders followed up with a social post on X saying "He's back."

Jacobs, who was drafted by the Raiders in the first round of the 2019 NFL draft out of Alabama, earned his first All-Pro selection and second Pro Bowl berth last season after leading the league with 1,653 rushing yards and 2,053 scrimmage yards. He added 12 touchdowns as Las Vegas hobbled to a 6-11 finish.

After a loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers where he had only 15 carries, Jacobs expressed his frustration with the team, who soon benched quarterback Derek Carr.

"Man, I'm tired of dealing with this (expletive)," he said. "Every day I come here and bust my (expletive), I see the guys bust they (expletive) and the result is not there. For me, the last four years the result hasn't been there. Quite frankly, I don't know what else to do."

The deal comes as NFL running backs have shared grievances in not getting paid what they think they are worth.

The Raiders, who now have Jimmy Garoppolo at quarterback, kick off the 2023 season Sept. 10 against AFC West rival Denver Broncos.
