With Mendoza’s future tied to a possible $57M/year extension if he delivers, the Raiders are betting big on the Heisman winner to lead their rebuild. Now that the ink is dry, the focus shifts to training camp, where Mendoza will learn under veteran Kirk Cousins while the coaching staff pushes him to master complex offensive schemes — all in pursuit of a sustainable, winning future.
