HENDERSON, Nev. -- The Las Vegas Raiders on Friday announced they are not picking up the fifth-year contract options on any of their three first-round picks from the 2019 draft -- defensive end Clelin Ferrell, who was selected fourth overall that year, running back Josh Jacobs, who went 24th, and safety Johnathan Abram, the 27th selection.
While Ferrell and Abram were considered draft reaches at the time, Jacobs authored a pair of 1,000-yard rushing seasons in his first two years and was named to the Pro Bowl in 2020.
"We look forward to working with all three players and we will evaluate each situation individually moving forward," Raiders general manager Dave Ziegler said in a statement.
