The Raiders made Kirk Cousins' signing official on Monday, announcing the deal.
Las Vegas is expected to use the No. 1 overall pick on Fernando Mendoza, which means Cousins will serve as the team's bridge quarterback until the Heisman Trophy winner is ready.

Cousins, 37, has made 167 starts in 14 seasons, with Washington, Minnesota and Atlanta. A fourth-round pick by Washington in 2012, he has passed for 44,700 yards with 298 touchdowns and 131 interceptions.
