With NFL training camps beginning within about a week, both the Las Vegas Raiders and the Los Angeles Rams could be missing two quarterbacks amid contract negotiations. Yahoo Sports and the New York Post report that Fernando Mendoza (Raiders) and Ty Simpson (Rams), each selected in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft, have not yet signed their rookie contracts. The reports frame the situation as a potential availability issue as teams open camp and begin on-field work. Both outlets tie the timing of the holdouts to the start of training camp, indicating the teams may need to proceed without the drafted quarterbacks for some portion of offseason practices and early camp activities. The articles do not provide details on the specific contract terms being negotiated or any agreed-to timelines for when the deals will be finalized. Overall, the coverage centers on the upcoming camp dates and the uncertainty created by unresolved rookie quarterback contracts for the two franchises involved.
