Tagged by Las Vegas The Raiders assigned their franchise tag to Jacobs on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact The transaction was expected all along, as the tag keeps Jacobs from hitting the open market next week and allows the two sides to keep talking for the next four months in hopes of coming to terms on a multi-year deal. Jacobs is coming off a career year in which he rushed 340 times for a league-high 1,653 yards and 12 touchdowns. He also added 400 receiving yards on 53 catches. Jacobs should again be a fantasy difference-maker in 2023 as the centerpiece of the Las Vegas offense.

Likely to get the franchise tag The Raiders plan to place the franchise tag on Jacobs if the sides can't reach a long-term deal by Tuesday's deadline, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports.

Impact Jacobs always seemed unlikely to leave Las Vegas after leading the league in rushing in his first season under coach Josh McDaniels. The Raiders can make him try and prove it again on a one-year, fully-guaranteed tag if they don't feel comfortable making Jacobs one of the highest-paid running backs in the league. At the moment, it appears as though Jacobs will remain with the Raiders for 2023 under any scenario.
