Raiders' Mendoza-Cousins QB Plan: When Will Rookie Start?
Description
The Las Vegas Raiders, led by general manager John Spytek and offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, have drafted Fernando Mendoza as the number one pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. To protect their investment and allow Mendoza to develop, theyve signed veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins. Initially, the plan was for Mendoza to sit and learn, but recent statements suggest a merit-based approach. Analysts predict Mendoza will take over around Week five, giving Cousins time to stabilize the offense and Mendoza opportunity to adapt to the West Coast scheme.
