Josh Jacobs says the #Chiefs tried hard to sign him but didn't go there because he didn't want to be the guy that joins a dominant team 👏

He's full of shit. If the Chiefs offered him the highest RB contract, it'd be all, "Man, when I was a Raider I definitely hated the Chiefs but I had so much respect for them and wanted to be a part of winning! So glad to be wearing red now! Go Chiefs!" [Reply]

Look at the type of RBs Veach chose…battering rams like Jacobs…but Jacobs can do the other stuff, as well.
I’d have loved to have signed him.
Ya like it would be a bad thing.
Imagine if we ended up drafting some great RB in the future, like an Adrian Peterson type or something. People would act like it would be the end of the world to pay a player like that 12m/yr or whatever it would be now. [Reply]
