Kirk Cousins Says Best QB Should Start if Raiders Draft Fernando Mendoza
Cousins said Mendoza has a natural feel for the position and that the Raiders should start the best quarterback.
- On Tuesday, Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins met Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza during a top 30 visit, calling it a "privilege to work together" if the team drafts the Heisman Trophy winner.
- The Raiders signed the 37-year-old veteran knowing they are expected to draft Mendoza with the first pick, as head coach Klint Kubiak prefers a young quarterback learn behind an experienced player.
- Cousins told Kubiak that "the best player needs to play," insisting he wants to help the team win regardless of his role; he cited late-season success with the Atlanta Falcons as proof of his commitment.
- Signed to a deal with $20 million guaranteed, Cousins aims to finish his career strong in Vegas while leveraging minority owner Tom Brady's on-field expertise as a competitive advantage.
- Embracing the "ride for the brand" philosophy, Cousins plans to influence the locker room regardless of his starting status while adjusting to the new offensive scheme to help the team win.
