Fernando Mendoza and Kirk Cousins Star in Raiders’ Schedule Release Video

Fernando Mendoza and Kirk Cousins, new quarterbacks for the Raiders, showcased their camaraderie in a “Step Brothers” parody for the team’s schedule release video, aiming to dispel concerns about their competition for the QB1 spot. Cousins, who signed a five-year contract worth $172 million, humorously introduced himself as “Kirko Chains,” while Mendoza, the 2026 NFL Draft’s No. 1 overall pick, referred to himself as “the Nandolorian.” The playful video included locker room antics and shared interests, culminating in the iconic line, “Did we just become best friends?” As they prepare for a competitive training camp, the duo appears to have formed a strong bond for now.
