100 percent. This way they don’t have to throw Mendoza to the wolves week 1. Maybe even sit a year like Mahomes did behind Alex Smith.

Or…or…they aren’t quite sold on Mendoza and could shop pick #1 for a pile of shiny objects. The Raiders have a 2 year option on Cousins for $80M after 2026.
“The deal also includes a club option for two years at $80 million and could be worth up to $172 million over five years, the source told Schefter, although only the $20 million this year is fully guaranteed.”

If he sees anything more than the 20 million I will shit a brick. That’s 60 million in 2027. Lol

I could be completely wrong but I understood it to be two options years at a total of 80 million dollars. Maybe not it is Kirk Cousins after all, Jedi Mind Trick master

The additional years are in effect a no-trade clause lol.
Good move for the Raiders. Flip him at the deadline when Mendoza is ready.

Raiders are more like we used to be, a mess, not winning much, getting bashed, don’t know which direction to go , frustrated. but you go back to the lab again and get to work, you experiment, you keep plugging away until something clicks* and your off to the races. we learned the same way.
I’d bet good money that this means Rodgers is back in Pittsburgh. Kirk was waiting on that before signing anywhere else, as that was the last real starting spot open.
Maybe… Or maybe Cousins wanted to play for Kubiak again 
either way, I think this is a good move for LV (I don’t get to say that often 
)

A little misleading Media coverage. Color me surprised.
Raiders did not sign Cousins for $20-M, Cousins was getting $8.7-M from Falcons, Raiders sign him for $1.3 and a $10-M signing bonus.

Once again, Jeff Risdon is taking notes from my Den posts and he made that one of this bold picks.
