The most important news of the day: Fernando Mendoza said it “could be a good idea” to continue Kirk Cousins’ celebratory In-N-Out trips after Raiders wins.
He said he’ll pick up the tab for his teammates if they do.
Tucker called Cousins "one of the best human beings" he has ever met, and the veteran QB left #Raiders in a better place than he found them.
He said everybody loved Cousins and enjoyed seeing the dynamic between him and Mendoza.
"They were perfect for each other. How Kirk is now, that’s how Fernando will be when he’s Kirk’s age."
#Raiders QB Fernando Mendoza shared a statement thanking Kirk Cousins and his family:
“It would’ve been really easy for Kirk to be a little more dismissive. He had me with open arms and has taught me so many things. … He shared it with no restrictions or constraints.” 🥹
Kirk Cousins thanks the Raiders in his re-introductory press conference with the Vikings:
"I want to say thank you to the Raiders for the opportunity they gave me this past offseason. The chance they gave me to play and the way they handled with Minnesota the last 24 hours. So grateful for them and the people there, and certainly, it was tough to leave a building that you've spent some time with the guys and built some rapport."
Kirk Cousins went to Great Clips during his final hours in Las Vegas. Because of course.
His message to Raider Nation:
“To the fans in Vegas, I just feel so grateful for how they welcomed me with open arms the several months that I was here. That includes teammates, the organization. I really couldn’t speak more highly of my time in Vegas.”

Alex Hernandez and Brandon Royval react to footage of Usman Nurmagomedov and his team jumping Merab Dvalishvili:
“That's the most lame, deplorable shit of all time.
Walking up, they've already got the camera out. They had a huddle, discussed it, and then walked over, tapped him, slapped him. They were filming it too, which is crazy.
Just the fact that they premeditated it, filmed it... I don't understand what the angle was on that or what they expected to come of it.” - @TheGreat155
"You know what's the coolest thing out of all that? The dude that he was with held it down, bro. It was like 10 on 2." - @brandonroyval
It’s always the guys who act the most humble who are not the most humble
And always watch out for guys who walk in numbers
It screams weak to me
Walking alone no matter where or what you are
Strength

Former NFL HC Rex Ryan was arrested Wednesday morning in Nashville after allegedly running over the feet of two pedestrians with his pickup truck last week.
Police say Ryan continued driving before the pedestrians caught up to him at a red light. He allegedly got out, argued with them, and drove away without exchanging information.
Ryan faces six misdemeanor charges, including leaving the scene of an accident, failing to provide information or aid, and failing to obey traffic signals.
The #Raiders met with Kirk Cousins today, and GM John Spytek and HC Klint Kubiak went through his options with him.
Despite not having a no-trade clause, Las Vegas allowed Cousins to decide whether he wanted to be traded to Minnesota.
The #Vikings had a crazy day calling around the league for QBs before landing on Kirk Cousins.
It wasn’t simple, as the Raiders’ initial asking price was a 2nd-round pick.
My reporting ⬇️
The @Raiders had a conversation with Kirk Cousins prior to trading him, explaining to him what was on the table. They felt they owed it to him to get his input.
