The Las Vegas Raiders made one headline-grabbing QB add during NFL Draft week: Fernando Mendoza with the No. 1 overall pick.

But they've actually added two more quarterbacks since that pick, both as undrafted free agents.

The first signing reported was Jacob Clark, out of Missouri State.

And then it was reported that they've brought aboard Sawyer Robertson from Baylor.

Robertson is a 6-foot-4 passer who started his college career at Mississippi State, but that was just 11 passes in a season before he transferred to Baylor.

After a year of a bit of time with the Bears, Robertson became a two-year starter.

In 2024, he completed 62.2% of his passes for 3,071 yards, 28 TDs and eight interceptions.

In 2025, it was 60.3% completion rate with 3,681 yards, 31 touchdowns and 12 INTs.

Robertson did rush for 230 yards in 2024 with four touchdowns, and that's with sacks counting for negative QB rushing in college.

In 2025, his rushing declined to just 17 yards with three touchdowns.

The Raiders have Kirk Cousins as their veteran presence, but clearly they want to stock their depth chart with some youthful QBs, and they're giving Robertson and Clark a shot along with Mendoza.
