Per Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network, the Raiders signed Jeanty to a four-year, $35.9 million rookie contract on Thursday after selecting him with the No. 6 pick in the 2025 NFL draft.

The Las Vegas Raiders made a splash in the 2025 NFL Draft when they selected Ashton Jeanty with the sixth overall pick. Jeanty was heavily linked to the Raiders following the Draft Combine, and the team made sure to select the electric running back out of Boise State to uplift a struggling ground game.

New Raiders rookie running back Ashton Jeanty shared a surprising twist that he also got pranked in a call that said he’d been traded to the Cowboys. In an interview with FanSided, Jeanty recounted how, shortly after being selected sixth overall by the Raiders, he received a call from someone posing as a Cowboys representative.
