In an unexpected move, the Las Vegas Raiders have agreed to terms with former Arizona Cardinals running back Kenyan Drake.
Drake, who is getting paid $11 million in guaranteed money over the next two seasons, will backup star running back Josh Jacobs (who makes a lot less than his backup). Drake will also play a role in the passing game.
“This is a big get,” a team source told Silver and Black Pride.
In another commitment to the running game, the Raiders agreed to terms to keep tight end Derek Carrier to a one-year deal, a source close to the situation confirmed to Silver and Black Pride.
