Former Raiders Pro Bowler Josh Jacobs was one of the most sought-after players in free agency earlier this year. And in a new interview, he claims Kansas City made a serious effort to bring him to Missouri for the 2024 NFL season, Jason Burgos of Sportsnaut reports.

“They were trying to get me hard,” Jacobs told The Athletic this week. “But there was no way I was going there. I feel like once you are rivals with somebody, you have a genuine hate for them. I couldn’t see myself in that color. And besides, I never wanted to be the guy that joined the dominant team. I want to be the guy that beats the dominant team.”

Eight teams pursued Jacobs this offseason, but the Packers were the organization that won the sweepstakes for the two-time Pro Bowler.
