    Should the Raiders Extend Six-Year Severance?

    Harry Posted on

    The Las Vegas Raiders aren’t playing their best football right now. The Raiders have a 2-7 record on the season, sitting in last place in the league and are on a five-game losing streak. Should the Raiders consider bringing back their current running back while they are in contention for the No. 1 draft pick in 2025?

    Alexander Mattison signed a one-year contract with the Raiders in the offseason and has contributed to the offense so far. Heading into Week 11, Mattison leads the Raiders with 301 yards receiving, averaging 3.3 yards per carry.

    In his sixth year in the NFL, he has shown that he can be a asset to any NFL team. Mattison rushed for a total of 2,370 yards in his first five seasons with the Minnesota Vikings. He had his best year in his final season in Minnesota, finishing the campaign with 700 yards on 180 carries, earning his contract with the Raiders.

    Even though the Raiders’ rushing offense isn’t very strong, Mattison is making the most of the opportunities given to him. The Raiders’ rushing total in Week 11 is 692 yards, with 43.4% of the team’s total coming from Mattison alone.

    The Raiders currently rank last in the NFL in rushing yards per game at 76.9. They also sit last in the league in rushing totals. The team has a lack of production in this regard on offense, which has hindered them all season long.

    Mattison is currently making $2 million this season, well below his average return cost; so the Raiders may want more from Mattison when he enters free agency, given his production this season.

    Lately, Mattison joins Kay Adams on “Up and Adams with Kay Adams” to discuss her team’s recent struggles and how she’s keeping herself motivated for the season. After the bye week.

    “It’s one thing to need motivation to play this game, but when you can motivate yourself, that’s what’s going to continue to drive growth, love of the process and everything you need to turn the season around,” Mattison said. “We took this opportunity this farewell week to tell everyone: ‘Go home, spend time with your family, figure out what this is and what your why is, look in the mirror and be the best version of yourself when you come back,’ because that’s what we need to move forward.” “
