Mendoza’s Future Starts Now | Las Vegas Raiders News

The Raiders are betting on the future with Fernando Mendoza, but for now, Kirk Cousins is the man under center. Signed to a lucrative two-year deal, Cousins gives the team immediate stability while Mendoza — the undefeated college phenom and 22-year-old rising star — gets real-world coaching and reps behind the scenes. GM John Spytek says Mendoza’s time is coming, but he must earn it daily. It’s a smart, patient move: let the young QB learn from a proven veteran while keeping the team competitive. If Mendoza rises to the challenge, he could be the spark the Raiders need to return to playoff contention. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
