Josh Jacobs has expressed his strong desire to join a specific NFL team, with reports suggesting mutual interest between him and the franchise.
Josh Jacobs is reportedly eyeing a specific destination as he prepares to part ways with the Raiders. The running back, set to enter free agency for the first time, faced a somewhat underwhelming season by his standards in 2023.
Recording 805 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns, both career lows, in 13 games, Jacobs experienced a decline compared to his previous season's impressive performance, where he led the NFL in rushing yards with 1,653 and added 12 scores. Despite the dip, he remains one of the top running backs on the market.
Now, Jacobs is being linked to the Bears, who are actively seeking to bolster their running back corps as the free agency window approaches. While the team is expected to pursue Saquon Barkley, another available star running back, Jacobs has emerged as another viable option, with reports indicating mutual interest between him and the Bears.
Bears radio sideline reporter and ESPN 1000 Bears analyst Jason McKie revealed on the 'Chicago Bears Podcast with Pat The Designer' that Jacobs has expressed a desire to play for Chicago. McKie, who shares agents with Jacobs, mentioned that there is indeed mutual interest between the player and the team.
While McKie emphasized that he wasn't suggesting the Bears would aggressively pursue Jacobs, he confirmed the existence of interest from both sides.
