How Kirk Cousins’ Raiders Contract Could Send Shockwaves Through the NFL QB Market—What It Means for Mendoza and Rodgers

And if Mendoza is ready to go as the starter beginning in training camp? Cousins will be in place as a valuable veteran backup in case of an emergency. For the Raiders, it’s the perfect scenario pairing together two like-minded and similar personalities, while covering their bases to both develop a cornerstone quarterback and give him a supportive mentor in the process.

For Cousins, there’s also the added benefit of an out after the season. The Raiders hold an option in his contract structure for an additional two years for $80 million, which is unlikely to be carried by the team after 2026. That gives Cousins the option of surveying the QB market again next offseason and either seizing on a starting opportunity, returning to Las Vegas as Mendoza’s backup on a reworked deal, or retiring.
