Jalen Richard will make the trip to Las Vegas with the Raiders.

The four-year veteran has agreed to a two-year contract extension to remain with the franchise he has played for since signing as an undrafted free agent out of Southern Mississippi, according to the Raiders..

Richard was set to become an unrestricted free agent next month. He signed a one-year tender for $3.095 million last offseason.

The 26-year-old had 39 carries for 145 yards and caught 36 passes for 323 yards.

He has 1,170 yards on 233 carries with three touchdowns in his career, adding three more touchdowns through the air on 160 catches for 1,380 yards.

Fellow running back DeAndre Washington is set to become a free agent with 2019 first-round pick Josh Jacobs firmly entrenched as the starter.
