Kenyan Drake Signing Two-Year Deal With Raiders
4 years agoFormer Arizona Cardinals running back Kenyan Drake is signing a two-year, $11 million deal with the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday, according to a source. Drake can make up to $14.5 million in incentives. It's a curious landing spot, as the Raiders already have bell-cow back Josh Jacobs in the fold in their backfield. The addition of Drake, who had 25 receptions for 137 yards with the Cardinals in 2020, could mean that Jacobs will be less involved in the passing game moving forward. Drake had his best season last year, rushing for 955 yards and 10 touchdowns on 239 carries. But the 27-year-old will be more of a complementary piece in his new home behind Jacobs, drastically reducing his fantasy ceiling. The Raiders also have Jalen Richard as depth in their backfield behind Jacobs and Drake.
