Mendoza is franchise QB with two-to-three-year commitment; Week 1 start uncertain.

Mendoza was taken No. 1 overall in the draft, and the organization committed itself to him for at least two to three years. This commitment ends any hopes that Aiden O'Connell has a future as a starter in Las Vegas. The plan for when Mendoza makes his first start is up in the air and dependent on how he looks in training camp and the preseason, though there's a chance he could be a Week 1 starter against Miami or not see the field at all if Kirk Cousins plays well.
