Raiders release fullback Jakob Johnson

Josh McDaniels and Dave Ziegler are no longer running the Las Vegas Raiders and the Patriots Way is slowly fading from the program.

Another indication of that happened Friday morning when the team released fullback Jakob Johnson. He was brought to Las Vegas by McDaniels and Ziegler (who were both fired by Raiders’ owner Mark Davis on October 31) when they came to Las Vegas in the 2022 offseason. Johnson was with McDaniels and Ziegler in New England.

Under interim offensive coordinator Bo Hardegree, the Raiders simply have went away from using the fullback position and have had better success on the ground led by tailback Josh Jacobs.
