The Las Vegas Raiders are having a troubling season so far, maintaining a seven-consecutive loss streak. What went wrong here for the Raiders? Well, the list goes long. It started with a bunch of poor decisions in hiring and managing coaching staff, continued with struggles in division play, and concluded with key players’ injuries like Gardner Minshew. However, the Raiders RB Ameer Abdullah’s performance is something to be looked out for.

Although the team still sits at 2-9, the 31-year-old has had a decent season so far. With one touchdown, 25 rushing attempts, and 110 rushing yards, the star RB has 4.4 average yards per carry. Signed by the Raiders in 2022, Abdullah renewed his contract with the team earlier this year. Let’s dive deep and learn how much the Raiders’ RB is making this season and how long is his contract for the team.

What is Ameer Abdullah’s salary?

In March 2024, Abdullah re-signed his contract with Antonio Pierce’s Raiders after playing for the previous two seasons. The contract worth $1,850,000 includes a $300,000 signing bonus and $850,000 guaranteed salary for the RB, a slight increment from his last season’s contract.

In the previous season, the Raiders closed the deal with the RB at $1,750,000 with a signing bonus of $200,000 that included a guaranteed salary of $500,000 with an annual value of $1,750,000. The number 8 proved his worth and had a solid performance with 5.9 yards per carry and recorded a splendid 131 receiving years on 19 receptions. It all worked out for him as he got a year’s expansion in his contract.

However, the team’s results didn’t go in his favour and the same story continues this season as well. In the week 12 game against the Denver Broncos, Abdullah showcased a notable performance and marked his longest carry with a 40-yard bust, but the Raiders lost the game. Despite the Raiders QB’s injury, Abdullah is one of the names who is having an impressive showing.

Well, the Raiders are now all set to have a face-off with the table toppers, the Chiefs, and Abdullah’s gameplay will be one of the key factors in this high-stakes game. After being available for almost every game, let’s see how long the Raiders’ are sticking with the RB.

How long is the star RB’s Contract?

The Las Vegas Raiders have signed Abdullah for yet another year after he had a noteworthy performance in the last season. Along with the signing bonus and a guaranteed salary, the 31-year-old will be getting a base salary of $1,240,000. Having an annual contract with the team makes the star RB’s annual salary with the Raiders around $850,000 this season.

Along with this, his contract also includes certain incentives for his gameplay. If the RB participates in at least 35% of the total snaps throughout the season, he’ll get a further incentive bonus of $125,000.

Moreover, if Ameer Abdullah remains part of the games for at least 45% of the total snaps, he’s getting a player-time incentive of $1,25,000. So, we can say that if he performs well on the field throughout the season (with the remaining games), he’ll not just benefit himself but his team as well. Although, the playoff seems a distant dream for the Raiders with 2-9, let’s see what they’ve got in their bucket.
