Raiders Fans Not Too Worried About Unsigned Rookies
The Las Vegas Raiders rookies report to training camp in 13 days and yet two of their 10 member 2026 draft class remain unsigned.
Yet, many Raiders fans are not worried about it. I agree.
Las Vegas has yet to sign first-round pick (and No. 1 overall choice) quarterback Fernando Mendoza and fourth-round pick, cornerback Jermod McCoy. There are currently less than 10 unsigned draft pick around the league and two of them are Raiders.
Still, I don’t think there’s much to be concerned about.
The only first-round draft picks who are unsigned are Mendoza and fellow quarterback Ty Simpson, who was the No. 13 overall pick by the Los Angeles Rams. They were the only two quarterbacks taken in the first round.
There has been media speculation that both players are unsigned because of details with secondary contract language such as guarantee payout scheduling, offset language and voiding rules. So, it’s just a matter of time.
In McCoy’s case, a signing delay may be related to his injury status. The Tennessee product was considered a first-round talent but his stock fell because of injury concerns. So, there could be some contract language involved with his injury status.
These things will work out and it seems our readers get that. Here are some of your responses:
