Mendoza left camp today and is on his way to LA to sign a 10 year 700 million contract with the Dodgers

Drove by the old HOT yesterday going to the airport.

That's cool. Was watching some concerts, the HOT really has quite historic significance in sports and music.
Amazing what Oakland was in the 70's.

Ouch you’re bitter. SF Giants fan I take it?

[Goodtimes333]

I loved playing baseball. I could never get into watching it or get into a team. How the f[raiders_icon]ck can a league not have a salary cap? One team can spend 100 million, another can spend 500 million. That's utter nonsense

I think it comes down to how much certain owners are willing to spend on salaries vs others. It’s often not because of a lack of funds, just the unwillingness to spend it.

Lol. Just jealous. Grew up in SD. Let's just say being a fan of the Raiders and Padres has been a rough stretch

Yeah, I wonder what(who) happened to it (Oakland)?

Old world vs new world.
Middle class erosion/sending jobs overseas.
Happened pretty quick.

Am I the only one here who thinks isn't a good Idea.

‘Fired up’ Maxx Crosby details plan to mentor Raiders QB Fernando Mendoza

How nice of you Mad Maxx.

I woulds much rather he spend time under Kubes wing. Ne thinks you have more than enough newbs on your side of the ball.

Good grief.

The Las Vegas Raiders used the No. 1 overall pick of the 2026 NFL Draft on Fernando Mendoza. With a new rookie quarterback joining the roster, the organization should be going all in to develop the former Indiana Hoosier. Shortly after the draft concluded, superstar edge rusher Maxx Crosby claimed he had already spoken to Mendoza and revealed his plan to help him grow in the NFL.

In the latest episode of “The Rush” with Maxx Crosby, the 28-year-old edge rusher explained how excited he is to have Mendoza as a teammate. Crosby revealed he reached out to the Raiders' rookie on draft night, and opened up about the advice he plans on giving Mendoza as the summer unfolds.

“I know everybody's fired up that he's part of our team now,” said Crosby about Mendoza. “I had the chance to have a great conversation with him when he came on his visit. I got to chop it up with him a little bit, and then on draft night, got on FaceTime and talked to him.


“We've been texting back and forth ever since. I'm really fired up for him, excited to take him under my wing and help him out, show him the way, and just encourage him to be himself and lead in his own way,” continued Corsby. “So, fired up for him and his family. I know it was a big moment.”



While Crosby aims to help mentor the 2025-26 Heisman Trophy winner, the Raiders have seemingly already done a good job of building a foundation for Mendoza to succeed. While the roster still likely needs improvements, the Raiders' front office did sign Kirk Cousins to a five-year, $172 million contract (which works more like a one-year, $20 million deal).

Cousins can serve as a sort of extra quarterback coach with his 14 years of experience under his belt. He can also challenge Fernando Mendoza to perform his best from the very jump.

From the guy, who if he had his way, would have cost us having Mendoza. He shouldnt be mentoring anyone.

I don't see a problem. Maxx is a team leader and one of our best players. I am glad he is excited about Mendoza. Last season is in the can.

Now I want them to room together on the road

So you don't want the guy that gives 100% every game, plays injured and wants to win, mentoring a franchise qb?
