The Las Vegas Raiders signed Kirk Cousins to a one-year contract with a club option worth $20 million, utilizing a financial loophole that has drawn scrutiny from the league.

The deal reportedly allows the Raiders to pay Cousins $11.3 million this season while the Atlanta Falcons cover the remainder. Mike Florio and others criticized the maneuver as a loophole that needs closing, leading to speculation that the NFL will adjust the rules before the 2026 season.
