What happened: Only two first-round picks from the 2026 NFL Draft remain unsigned, and both are quarterbacks, according to Adam Schefter. The Raiders have yet to sign No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza, while the Rams are still finalizing terms with No. 13 selection Ty Simpson.

Why it matters: Rookie-scale contracts are largely slotted by draft position, so first-round deals rarely linger this deep into the offseason. Locking up both quarterbacks before training camp matters for installing each offense and protecting valuable first-team reps for two passers their franchises are betting on.

What to watch: Watch for the Raiders and Rams to close out the deals before camps open, clearing both rookies to take first-team reps on schedule.
