Alexander Mattison does not constitute a top-tier replacement for Josh Jacobs
Josh Jacobs departure from the Raiders is understandable. After playing out of his mind in response to being denied his fifth year option in 2022-23, he regressed out of his 1,000-yard form the following season, as a quad injury ruled him out of the final four games.
However, new general manager Tom Telesco has not done a great job in finding Jacobs' successor, instead going for the underwhelming Alexander Mattison. Perhaps a fellow ex-Viking by the name of Dalvin Cook could be a better idea.

Andre follows the New York Jets and the Washington Commanders, mostly because he likes their colors. His favorite position is tight end, and players like Mark Andrews and Travis Kelce have always drawn Andre's attention when watching a game. Bill Belichick is his favorite coach, and his all-time favorite Super Bowl is the XLII edition, when the underdog New York Giants upset the then-undefeated New England Patriots.
If he can change one moment in NFL history, it will be from the NFC Championship Game in January 2019. In that game, a highly controversial no-call cost the Saints what would have been Drew Brees' second Super Bowl visit, where he would have faced Tom Brady and the Patriots.
