The Las Vegas Raiders signed veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins to a one-year, $20 million deal on Thursday. Cousins will mentor presumptive No. 1 overall draft pick Fernando Mendoza under new head coach Klint Kubiak. The contract includes a $1.3 million minimum salary from the Raiders and a $10 million roster bonus next March, with the rest paid by the Atlanta Falcons.
The Dallas Cowboys submitted three separate trade offers for Las Vegas Raiders star pass-rusher Maxx Crosby before talks collapsed earlier this month, according to ESPN. The Raiders sought two first-round picks, a price only the Baltimore Ravens appeared willing to meet until concerns over Crosby's knee sidelined the deal. Crosby now wants to remain with the Raiders.
