Cousins will be the starter until he gets hurt or the Raiders fall out of contention.

Cousins likely begins the year as the Raiders' starter. Last year, Cousins appeared more physically capable as a thrower than he did off his Achilles rehab in 2024. 

Cousins is a good worker, understands NFL defenses, and has a depth of experience with NFL offenses. He doesn't always stay within his limitations on the field, but that tendency has become less troublesome as he has aged. 

Expect Cousins to start at least 4-6 games before ceding the role to Fernando Mendoza. Don't expect Cousins to regain this job without a Mendoza injury.
