Story summary
  • Kirk Cousins signed a one-year, fully guaranteed contract with the Las Vegas Raiders worth $20 million, contrary to initial reports of a five-year, $172 million deal.
  • The contract includes a club option for two additional years at $80 million, with a 2026 base salary of $1.3 million and a 2027 offseason roster bonus of $10 million, both fully guaranteed.
  • If terminated before the fifth day of the 2027 league year, Cousins will receive $11.3 million, but it is unlikely the Raiders will retain him beyond 2026.
