Raiders sign RB Ashton Jeanty to reported $35.9M deal

Ashton Jeanty

Las Vegas Raiders first-round draft pick Ashton Jeanty signed his four-year rookie contract.

Jeanty’s representation told multiple outlets the deal was fully guaranteed and matches the NFL assigned max value of the draft slot for the sixth overall pick –$35,895,812. Per the reports, the contract includes a $22,746,044 signing bonus and the standard fifth-year team option.

The Boise State running back was selected by the Raiders at No. 6, the highest a player at the position has been drafted since the Giants took Saquon Barkley No. 2 overall in 2018.

The runner-up in the Heisman Trophy voting to Colorado’s Travis Hunter, Jeanty had one of the top seasons of all time in 2024 by rushing for 2,601 yards and 29 touchdowns. The yardage is second most in a season behind legendary Barry Sanders, who rushed for 2,628 yards for Oklahoma State in 1988.

Jeanty led Boise State to a 12-2 record and an appearance in the College Football Playoff quarterfinals before the Broncos lost 31-14 to Penn State in the Fiesta Bowl.

Jeanty rushed for more than 100 yards in each game last season and was known for his dazzling long runs and penchant for breaking tackles. He holds the school record of 4,769 rushing yards and completed his Boise State career with 50 rushing touchdowns.

Jeanty was named Mountain West Conference Offensive Player of the Year for the second straight season. In 2023, he won the award after rushing for 1,347 yards and 14 touchdowns.
