Mendoza's Big Leap Starts Now | Sports News
Description
The Raiders locked in their franchise QB with a massive 4-year, $57M deal for rookie Fernando Mendoza — the first pick in April’s draft. But don’t expect him to start Week 1; veteran Kirk Cousins is favored, and Mendoza’s path to the field means grinding through camp and hoping for injury luck. With Cousins dominating first-team reps and O’Connell’s future uncertain, Mendoza’s early reps are with third-stringers. His signing also clears the way for other unsigned QBs like Ty Simpson and Drew Allar to finalize deals.
