Cousins signed to buy time for Mendoza's development; timeline now in question.

Kirk Cousins was signed by the Raiders to hold down the starting quarterback job while Fernando Mendoza is brought along at a deliberate pace. The source notes that Cousins gives the Raiders the luxury of developing Mendoza without forcing him onto the field before he is ready. However, Mendoza's early preseason performance may be pressuring that timeline, as the source questions how long the Raiders will actually need to wait before Mendoza is ready to take over.
