Former Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs has revealed having snubbed the Kansas City Chiefs, who he says made advances to sign him in free agency ahead of his move to the Green Bay Packers this offseason.
Jacobs joined the NFC North side on a four-year deal worth $48 million. Speaking in an interview with The Athletic, he claimed to have had no intentions of leaving Vegas but was forced to as the franchise ultimately failed to match the contract offer he received from Green Bay.
“They were trying to get me hard,” he disclosed. “But there was no way I was going there. I feel like once you are rivals with somebody, you have a genuine hate for them. I couldn’t see myself in that color. And besides, I never wanted to be the guy that joined the dominant team. I want to be the guy that beats the dominant team.”

The New York Giants Also Tried To Sign Josh Jacobs
Jacobs told the publication the New York Giants were also looking to make a move for him and offered him $3-4 million more than the Packers did. Still, he chose to play for Green Bay.
While he’s no longer with the Raiders, the two-time Pro Bowler still considers himself a direct rival of Andy Reid’s side and will hope to inflict damage on them at some point. As it turns out, the Packers will have to make it to the Super Bowl if there’s to be any chance of doing so in 2024, as they aren’t scheduled to play each other during the regular season.
