Summary
Fernando Mendoza, the No. 1 overall NFL draft pick and Heisman Trophy winner, remains unsigned by the Las Vegas Raiders two months after being drafted. A former NFL agent suggests the delay may stem from the Raiders' reluctance to conform to the new norm of fully guaranteed rookie contracts, particularly regarding the structure of Mendoza's $38.11 million signing bonus. Mendoza is one of only two first-round picks yet to sign, with the contract expected to be a four-year, $57.27 million deal with a fifth-year option.
