Travis Kelce is 36.

Brock Bowers is 23.

If Bowers holds up physically, and plays as long as Kelce, he could go down as one of, if not the best, ever. We get to watch. Hopefully for a long time. What an era we are entering as fans.

@EzTrez_SI Giving me traumatic flashbacks with this picture, man. 🤣🤣

[MarinRaider @MarinRaider]

@TonyBadilla Agree. Him being good is a benefit if traded or kept. If they think he’s a long term credible #2 they may eat the roster space in ‘26 when the team is not likely to be in top form, unload the Cousins contract in ‘27 and use that money to sign Aidan at a good back up salary.

[MarinRaider @MarinRaider]

I hope Aidan stays on the roster. Cousins won’t be here when Mendoza moves into his prime and Aidan is perfect in that backup role.

[Justin Churchill @ChurchillAtoZ]

With the Las Vegas Raiders in OTAs, it’s the perfect time to see how the roster is shaping up. The 2026 roster for Vegas is much better than last years. Some good players will be left off the 53-man roster, including a guy who’s showing out and improving his trade stock. 🔗👇

[MarinRaider @MarinRaider]

Also, Raiders in total control of what happens in 2027 with Cousins. His deal is really a one year deal with window dressing. https://t.co/Q9bSiMVKo0

[MarinRaider @MarinRaider]

@TonyBadilla We’ll see as things unfold but everything I read/hear is Aidan is doing well in the offense and he’s better than they thought he was. If Mendoza is starting by year end, and if they like Aidan, he gets a new deal as a backup and Cousins is expendable. Should be interesting.

Who’s got a better QB room in the league than the #Raiders? A solid starter in Cousins. A proven backup in Aidan and a Heisman trophy winning rookie QB. Deepest this group has been in recent memory for sure. Very exciting to see what happens.

Aidan O’Connell hit Shedrick Jackson for a deep go ball touchdown in team period. He’s made a few big throws today.

Love this quote from Klint Kubiak:

"I think about the type of people (John Spytek) has brought in. We're not out there coaching effort right now. We're not out there coaching accountability. We drafted that part. It's hard to coach those things. Those guys really love football."

[Jesse Merrick - Silver & Black Sports Network @JesseSBSN]

#Raiders HC Klint Kubiak on Fernando Mendoza is

“As advertised. He has not disappointed…it’s very important to him, asks a lot of great questions. When he gets out on the field he’s no BS, he’s all ball.”

[MarinRaider @MarinRaider]

Even better to have Aidan there too. Haven’t studied it but could be the deepest QB room with solid starter experience and rookie upside in the league.

[Nick Walters @nickwalt]

This QB battle between Kirk Cousins and Fernando Mendoza feels like a very good problem to have.

@ol_bill14 @samwarren83 I’m hoping game day hat looks more like this fit.

[MarinRaider @MarinRaider]

This is awesome to see. Taking reps under center in a hotel room after and before practice. Love it. Go Fernando!

[Sam Warren @samwarren83]

Somewhere in a Henderson, NV hotel last night, Fernando Mendoza was taking snaps.

The No. 1 overall pick is doing everything to adjust to playing under center. Mendoza said he feels confident leaving rookie minicamp, but still has "a long way to go."

@Mannyaguilar_7 @jgomez72 @TomBradyEgo What about Bo? Short lived but legendary just the same. Fun exercise to think through a lot of these great players and their place in history. Appreciate the work putting it together.

[MarinRaider @MarinRaider]

I’m still trying to rinse my brain of last year’s nonsense slogan around “compete” and get the word back to its proper meaning without the mental baggage. 😂

[Las Vegas Raiders @Raiders]

A roster built around competition 😤

GM John Spytek joined @heykayadams to talk about the 2026 draft class, key offseason signings, and more ⤵️

[Home Grown with David & Derek Carr @HomeGrownTweet]

"It feels like the best offseason I've seen there in years."

✅ Klint Kubiak hired
✅ Maxx Crosby kept
✅ Draft smashed
✅ Needs addressed

The hard part is yet to come, but the Raiders have done everything right this offseason 👏

[MarinRaider @MarinRaider]

@imrightthough That’s kind of my point. You may have a hidden talent already on the roster that if they get a chance to play with a more capable QB, they may shine. I still think they get WR vet help but I’m excited to see what the guys on the roster can do in Kubiaks offsense with a good Qb.

[MarinRaider @MarinRaider]

I believe him when he says they like the young WR room. Not everyone is Justin Jefferson out of the gate. Get these guys a good QB and let’s see.

Reminder Davante Adams first two seasons in the league were:

446 yds / 3 tds
483 yds / 1 td

Didn’t break 1,000 yards until yr 5

[Up & Adams @UpAndAdamsShow]

Will the Raiders add another receiver? GM John Spytek goes in:

@jspytek42 | @heykayadams

[Las Vegas Raiders @Raiders]

Same number. New era.

With Tom Flores’ blessing, No. 15 finds its next leader.

@BigBenRV @nickwalt Reasonable for sure. Hard to expect more in year 1 from such a young team. I like your roadmap. 💪🏼
