The offseason has been brutal for running backs lately compared to how it was in the past. This year, in particular, showed how much value running backs lost, as multiple megastars at the position didn’t receive the contracts they wanted, which is something that Le’Veon Bell knows very well.



On Monday, many talented playmakers crossed the franchise tag deadline, meaning they will be playing under one-year contracts. The cases that took everyone’s attention were <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/saquon-barkley">Saquon Barkley</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/josh-jacobs">Josh Jacobs</a>.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230714#BUS#28799"></div>


Bell is no longer in the NFL due to a clear decline in his performance over his last couple of years as a player. However, he was in a similar situation as one of the best running backs in the league when he was with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a>.



<h2>Le’Veon Bell compares the RB market to “A bug’s life”</h2>



His role in the offense back then was something that Barkley and Jacobs can identify with. He was a huge part of the unit, but the team gave him the franchise tag instead of the long-term contract he wanted. Bell was criticized for sitting out in 2018, especially because he was never the same afterwards. However, he experienced the reality of the running back market.



“Disney a LONG time ago (1998) taught me a valuable lesson about sticking together, go watch ‘A Bug’s Life’ … it’ll put in perspective the running back market. The running backs are the ants. I’m Flik (The Inventive Ant) I took ALL the damage from the grasshoppers (Owners). At the time, no one could see my vision or what I was standing for but all I was doing was just preparing to go against the grasshoppers/owners, but as a lone inventive ant/RB, I obviously couldn’t beat the grasshoppers/owners alone. In 2017 &amp; 2018 I was the lone ant, I was Flik. it was literally ONLY ME. Fast forward 6 years later, now you have multiple ants trying to join the fight against the grasshoppers. Once Flik helped the other ants realize that there are more of US (ants) than it is of THEM (grasshoppers/owners) they finally defeated the grasshoppers. Ants are STRONG AS F- together! Very weak when they are individuals”, Bell posted on his Twitter account.

One of the most significant dates in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> has arrived. The deadline for the 2023 franchise tag is approaching, and fans are eagerly awaiting news about whether their teams will make any moves. Here is all the information you need, including the date, time, players affected, and updates.



The 2023 NFL season is approaching, and the 32 teams are gearing up to compete for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Super Bowl</a> LVIII. Clubs are assessing the availability of players, especially those who have been given the franchise tag. These players are eagerly awaiting the final days to determine their future.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230712#BUS#27991"></div>


Several players are still grappling with contract problems as they have only a few days remaining to resolve them. Here is all the information you need to know about the franchise tag deadline.



<h2>Information about the 2023 NFL franchise tag: Deadline, teams involved, players affected, and more</h2>



In the NFL schedule, the franchise tag deadline is one of the most relevant dates each year. Numerous players are trying to reach an agreement with their clubs, but of course not all of them will be able to do so.



<h3>2023 NFL franchise tag: Deadline</h3>



The franchise tag deadline for 2023 is Monday, July 17, at 4 p.m. ET. Players must reach a long-term agreement before this date. If they fail to do so, they have two options: signing the one-year tag and become free agents at the end of the upcoming season or choosing not to sign it and sit out the campaign.



<h3>2023 NFL franchise tag: Players affected and teams involved</h3>



These players have received the franchise tag and have not reached an agreement for a long-term deal yet:



<ul><li>RB <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/saquon-barkley" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Saquon Barkley</a> (<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-giants" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New York Giants</a>)</li><li>RB <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/josh-jacobs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Josh Jacobs</a> (<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/las-vegas-raiders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Las Vegas Raiders</a>)</li><li>RB Tony Pollard (<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-cowboys" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dallas Cowboys</a>)</li><li>TE Evan Engram (<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jacksonville-jaguars" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jacksonville Jaguars</a>)</li></ul>



Out of those four players, only Tony Pollard has signed the franchise tag. This implies that if the player and the club fail to reach an agreement, he is still obligated to play the 2023 season.



<h3>2023 NFL franchise tag: Updates</h3>



Saquon Barkley: The latest report on the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-giants-are-ready-to-offer-rb-saquon-barkley-a-massive-deal-20230713-BUS-28508.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">running back is that the Giants are ready to offer him a massive deal</a>. This contract would include over $19 million guaranteed.



Josh Jacobs: The Raiders and the running back are not on the same page. Las Vegas wants to offer him a deal, but it appears that the player’s demands are too high for the team.



Tony Pollard: As mentioned earlier, he signed the franchise tag earlier this year. The Cowboys are poised to offer him a long-term deal, but their highly skilled running backs room could potentially alter the player’s situation.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230629#BUS#19877"></div>


Evan Engram: In April, the Jaguars front office announced that they were working on an offer for the tight end. He missed the OTAs, and unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like the negotiations are progressing well for both sides.

2023 NFL franchise tag information: Deadline, players affected, and updates

The 2023 NFL season is near, and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/las-vegas-raiders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Las Vegas Raiders</a> have to solve a big problem. The team has not reached an agreement with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/josh-jacobs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Josh Jacobs</a>, and now their fans have reacted to the running back’s latest update regarding this matter.



Running backs are having a really hard time this year. Players like Saquon Barkley, Tony Pollard, Dalvin Cook, Josh Jacobs, among others, are not securing the lucrative deals they seek. It appears that teams are not inclined to meet their expectations.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230629#BUS#19877"></div>


Jacobs, who has been one of the best offensive players in recent years, is facing a significant challenge. The running back desires a contract extension from the Raiders, but time is passing, and the team has not shown any intentions of offering him one.



<h2>Josh Jacobs’ latest update leads to the reaction of Raiders fans</h2>



The clock is ticking and the Raiders must make a decision about Josh Jacobs. They placed the franchise tag on him this year, and they have until July 17th to offer him a contract extension.



After not receiving any offer from the Raiders, Jacobs has decided to not attend the team’s minicamp. This latest update has led to the fans reaction, who are not really worried for this situation.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230620#BUS#14632"></div>


According to a poll made by SB Nation, with 370 responses, 74 percent of the voters are not concerned about Jacobs not attending the minicamp. They think that the running back will be paid and he’ll return to Las Vegas this year.

NFL News: Raiders fans react to RB Josh Jacobs' latest update

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/las-vegas-raiders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Las Vegas Raiders</a> are preparing to face the 2023 NFL season, but some worrisome news have arrived to their facilities. The AFC West team has now received a concerning update on <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/josh-jacobs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Josh Jacobs</a>‘ situation, and their plans could completely change soon.



Josh Jacobs is definitely one of the best running backs in the league nowadays. In four seasons with the Raiders, he has 4,740 rushing yards in 1,072 carries and 40 touchdowns. He’s also a massive threat by air, adding 1,152 yards in 160 receptions to those numbers.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230620#BUS#14632"></div>


His rookie contract ended this year, so the Raiders placed the franchise tag on him for the 2023 season. The player wants a contract extension, but surprisingly, the team has not offered him one yet.



<h2>Report: Josh Jacobs could miss start of Raiders’ training camp</h2>



The relationship between Josh Jacobs and the Raiders is not living its best moment. The team placed the franchise tag on him for the upcoming campaign, and both sides have not agreed terms for a contract extension to keep the running back in Las Vegas for more years.



Several running backs are facing the same situation. There are rumors that teams are waiting to see other deals before offering contracts to their players, but Jacobs is not very comfortable with the Raiders avoiding the matter for so long.



Now, the former 24th-overall pick has made a decision. According to reports, Jacobs could miss the start of the team’s training camp if a long-term deal isn’t reached. The Raiders have until July 17th to offer him a contract, otherwise, he will play under the franchise tag this year.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230304#CMS#0002"></div>


“The one [running back situation] that nobody’s talking about is Josh Jacobs,” NFL Media’s Tom Pelissero told the Rich Eisen Show on Tuesday. “At this point, if there’s not a long-term deal, I don’t anticipate Josh Jacobs being there at the start of training camp and I don’t know that he shows up Week 1.”

NFL News: Raiders receive concerning update on Josh Jacobs' situation

There were big hopes around the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/las-vegas-raiders">Las Vegas Raiders</a> last season. The trade that sent <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/davante-adams">Davante Adams</a> there was supposed to be the move that put them closer to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a> in the AFC West, but that didn’t happen.



The final record was a poor 6-11 that even saw Derek Carr leaving the team after nine years. Adams was great for the offense, but he wasn’t alone on that side of the ball. Josh Jacobs was the other big reason why they were able to put up points in the scoreboard.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230606#BUS#6728"></div>


Jacobs led the league with 1,653 rushing yards to go along with 12 rushing touchdowns. The running back was a complete option for them, totaling over 2,000 scrimmage yards. However, his future isn’t certain.



<h2>Josh Jacobs posts unsettling message directed to the Raiders</h2>



The running back market took a big hit the last couple of years. Now it’s almost impossible for a player at that position to get a massive contract, such as is the case with Saquon Barkley and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-giants">New York Giants</a>. Jacobs was franchise tagged, so he would have a one-year deal worth just over 10 million dollars if he plays under it.



Jacobs has until July 17 to get a long-term contract from the Raiders as a tagged player, but it seems obvious he is not satisfied with how the negotiation is going. He is making sure everyone knows his posture with his social media posts, including answers to those who think that paying a lot of money for these players isn’t a good strategy. “Bad business”, Jacobs tweeted today.



He has been adding to his timeline posts explaining how underpaid running backs are. Two weeks ago he even shared a big-picture vision of his situation: “Sometimes it’s not about you. We gotta do it for the ones after us”, he wrote. This relationship has been getting tense since he was tagged, but the ending doesn’t seem to be something the player is going to be a fan of.

They are getting a closer look at the top prospects that could become building cornerstones after the next draft, but free agency begins very soon. One of the biggest names that may switch uniforms is <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/Las-Vegas-Raiders-Josh-Jacobs-picks-his-favorite-QB-to-replace-Derek-Carr-20230211-0002.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Josh Jacobs</a> of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/NFL-News-Raiders-GM-gives-an-answer-on-their-quarterback-situation-that-fans-may-not-like-20230222-0057.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Las Vegas Raiders</a>.
There will be important decisions to make for front offices this offseason. Las Vegas has already chosen to part ways with long-time <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/NFL-free-agency-Former-Raiders-QB-Derek-Carr-sets-his-contract-expectations-20230224-0035.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">QB Derek Carr</a>, so they are clearly not afraid of making big moves. Something that might change the outlook of the team is the situation with their star running back.
Jacobs had a breakout year just when he needed it the most. The Raiders didn’t pick up his fifth-year option because of his injury history, although the RB was simply dominant throughout the season. The franchise will have to decide whether he stays or not since his contract is set to expire in less than two weeks.
<h2>New update on Josh Jacobs’ contract with the Las Vegas Raiders</h2>
Running back is a position that has been devalued lately with most teams in the NFL choosing a committee of cheap, young players instead of the traditional bell-cow RB. Jacobs put up impressive numbers such as 1653 rushing yards to lead the league. He also gained over 2000 total yards, but that may not equate to an extension.
Both parts are reportedly working towards a deal that would keep him there, although the team has a backup plan if it doesn’t happen. Las Vegas is ready to place the franchise tag on Jacobs if they don’t agree on a long-term contract, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. The deadline for assigning the tags is next Tuesday, March 7.
Those 10 million dollars he will cost represent a great deal for the team if he accepts to play under the tag. It’s still uncertain if he would do so because a month ago <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/NFL-News-RB-Josh-Jacobs-sends-strong-message-to-Las-Vegas-Raiders-about-the-franchise-tag-20230204-0034.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jacobs had a strong opinion about a potential franchise tag</a> by the Raiders. Another situation to monitor will be the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/New-York-Giants-to-cut-Kenny-Golladay-How-much-did-he-make-per-game-catch-yard-and-snap-20230228-0029.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Giants</a>’ negotiation with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/NFL-free-agency-Top-candidates-to-receive-the-franchise-tag-20230223-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Saquon Barkley</a> that could increase his price.

There will be a lot of movement in the quarterback market this offseason.

<h2>Who is Josh Jacobs’ choice to be the next QB of the Raiders?</h2>
The running back will enter a negotiation himself to review his stay there.

Jacobs mentioned in an interview with SiriusXM that the decisions the Raidersmake at quarterback may also affect his desire to sign an extension.
<blockquote>
“With my contract coming up, that definitely plays a big part of what I want to do. I love the thought of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/NFL-Rumors-Aaron-Rodgers-admits-he-might-join-the-Raiders-20230206-0007.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Aaron Rodgers</a>.

Some injuries in the past limited the running back possibilities in his career. That’s part of why Las Vegas decided to decline the fifth-year option of his contract. Since he was drafted in the first round in the 2019 draft, he will be an unrestricted free agent when the league year begins if they don’t reach an agreement.
Jacobs had a bounce back season that put him at the top of his position. The running back led the league with 1.653 rushing yards and finished having over 2.000 total yards. His 12 touchdowns cemented 2022 as the best campaign ever for him.
<h2>What did Josh Jacobs say about the franchise tag?</h2>
Those accolades made him a first-team All-Pro selection that increased his price even more. There is enough time for both sides to get a deal done for Jacobs to stay in the Raiders, but that’s not guaranteed. The option for Las Vegas to keep him in that case would be using the franchise tag. If they tag Jacobs his salary would be 10.091 million, according to Spotrac.
It’s a high figure that may not be accepted by the player after his performance. “Hero turned villain”, said Jacobs in an interview with Tashan Reed of The Athletic about potentially being tagged. The running back will be one of the stories to follow in the offseason because he <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/NFL-News-Why-is-Derek-Carr-playing-in-the-2023-Pro-Bowl-20230131-0042.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">could demand a trade if they don’t agreeto a new deal</a> that fits his value.
