Raiders sign Kirk Cousins to give expected top pick Fernando Mendoza a veteran presence

Kirk Cousins signed with the Las Vegas Raiders, his agent announced Thursday morning, giving them a veteran quarterback to help ease the expected selection of Fernando Mendoza with the top draft pick. Agent Mike McCartney announced the signing on social media, but didn't provide contractual terms. Cousins later posted “The Autumn Wind...” in a nod to the Raiders' theme that is played before every home game and was made famous by NFL Films.
