Back to EpisodesRaiders Eye Veteran QB for Mendoza's Mentorship
Description
The Las Vegas Raiders are set to draft Fernando Mendoza as their long-term quarterback, but need a bridge option for at least part of the 2026 season. With Geno Smith likely to be cut or traded and Kenny Pickett hitting free agency, the team is considering veteran quarterbacks like Davis Mills, Mac Jones, Kirk Cousins, Joe Flacco, and even Tua Tagovailoa if released. The goal is to find a short-term mentor for Mendoza, stabilizing the offense early and building fan confidence without taking on major long-term risk.
