The Raiders announced Friday the team will not exercise the fifth-year options on 2019 first round draft picks Johnathan Abram, Clelin Ferrell and star running back Josh Jacobs ahead of the May 2 deadline.
Ferrell (No. 4), Jacobs (No. 24) and Abram (No. 27) were the first players drafted by former Raiders general manager Mike Mayock, who was fired on Jan. 17 following the team’s Wild Card loss to the Bengals.
“We look forward to working with all three players and we will evaluate each situation individually moving forward,” GM Dave Ziegler said in the statement announcing the news.
