Packers’ Josh Jacobs slams Raiders culture, says losing played a factor in star RB leaving Las Vegas

Josh Jacobs was sick of losing, and that was one of the contributing factors in him leaving the Las Vegas Raiders this offseason. 

Jacobs, a two-time Pro Bowl running back and former rushing champion, spent his first five seasons with the Raiders before ultimately choosing to sign with the Packers in free agency this past offseason. Months after leaving them, Jacobs is finally shedding light on how big of a factor losing had on his decision to leave Las Vegas. 

“That went (into) me leaving,” Jacobs said on the “Green Light with Chris Long” podcast in June. “Coming from Alabama, I went to a championship every year I was there. I remember coming to the league and losing my first game, and I was mad and not talking to nobody. A vet came up to me and was like, ‘This is the NFL. You’re going to lose.’ I’m like, ‘So ya’ll cool with losing?’ It was so different. 

“Then, the most frustrating thing about it all, you’ve got me, and Tae (Davante Adams) and Maxx (Crosby), you’ve got guys who come in every day and work hard, and you don’t get the results. … You’ll be close every year, but (we’re) not winning. You want me to come back on a discount and lose? I don’t know how I feel about that.”
