It would've been really easy for Kirk to be a little more dismissive. He had me with open arms and has taught me so many things.

Cousins traded for 2027 third-rounder; mentored Mendoza before departure.

Cousins was traded by the Raiders for a third-round pick in the 2027 NFL Draft, ending his tenure as the team's starter. The source notes that while Cousins lacked mobility as a pocket passer, he provided Mendoza with nine games of mentorship and observation. Mendoza praised Cousins' leadership: 'It would've been really easy for Kirk to be a little more dismissive. He had me with open arms and has taught me so many things.' Cousins' departure marks a shift from a 38-year-old veteran to the 23-year-old rookie.
