Cousins Starts But Mendoza’s Not Done | Oakland News
Description
Klint Kubiak has named Kirk Cousins the starting quarterback for the Las Vegas Raiders as training camp begins, sidelining first-round pick Fernando Mendoza for now. Cousins earned the spot through strong offseason performance, aligning with Kubiak’s proven philosophy of mentoring young QBs behind veteran leaders. With 14 seasons under his belt and a history of success alongside Kubiak in Minnesota—including a Pro Bowl season—Cousins brings experience and chemistry. Meanwhile, Mendoza faces high expectations to prove his resilience and attitude under pressure, as reps will remain fluid with Aidan O’Connell also competing. This is a strategic, long-term QB development plan backed by the front office and even Tom Brady.
