From the episode

Kirk Cousins probably gets the early start. But what I'm monitoring is just how close that gap is, right? Like what if Mendoza comes in and plays awesome? He's the first overall pick...maybe Kirk Cousins, you know, has to play his ass off to be starting through like three weeks or something like that.

STACKED’s take

Cousins gets early start but short leash if Mendoza impresses quickly.

Kirk Cousins is expected to get the early start in Las Vegas as a stopgap for Fernando Mendoza, the first overall pick; the source is monitoring how close the gap is between them, noting that if Mendoza plays well, Cousins could be benched within three weeks.
