Seattle players also faced fines: linebacker Ernest Jones $23,882 for a hit on QB Gardner Minshew, and cornerback Devon Witherspoon $17,911 for taunting tight end Trey McBride, marking his second taunting fine of the year. NFL fine revenues support retired‑player services and health initiatives.
The Seattle Seahawks enter Week 10 against the Las Vegas Raiders without defensive tackle Leonard Williams, who is out with a stinger, giving rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza a slightly less hostile interior for his first NFL start.

After nine games learning behind Cousins, Mendoza impressed coaches with his grasp of Klint Kubiak’s offense, mobility, and arm strength. Center Tyler Linderbaum and QB coach Mike Sullivan praised his work ethic and readiness. The upcoming matchup versus the Seattle Seahawks' top‑ranked passing defense will be his first real test.
The Las Vegas Raiders trade veteran Kirk Cousins for a 2027 third‑round pick and hand the starting quarterback job to 23‑year‑old top‑pick Fernando Mendoza. Coach Klint Kubiak expects Mendoza to lead the offense immediately, with his first start set for Week 10 against the Seattle Seahawks – a team that boasts the league’s top passing defense (1,396 air yards allowed). Mendoza, a 6‑foot‑5, 225‑lb rookie from Indiana, inherits a receiving corps featuring TE Brock Bowers (48 catches, 658 yards, 6 TDs) and WR Tre Tucker (33 catches, 529 yards). While the Raiders’ ground game ranks last, the coaching staff hopes Mendoza’s arm and mobility will revitalize the aerial attack.
The Bengals withdrew from a trade for edge rusher Arnold Ebiketie after learning it could jeopardize their extra third‑round compensatory pick earned from losing Trey Hendrickson to the Ravens. Initially set to give the Eagles a sixth‑rounder, the deal was scrapped when OverTheCap.com highlighted the compensation conflict, prompting GM Duke Tobin to apologize on the team's behalf. Adding to the drama, the Seahawks signed former Bengals guard Cordell Volson to their practice squad; if he becomes a starter, he might generate an additional seventh‑round compensatory pick for Cincinnati, potentially salvaging the trade scenario.
Ahead of the Week 10 showdown with the Las Vegas Raiders, Seattle turns to Drew Lock for his fourth appearance and third start. Lock has posted five touchdowns and zero interceptions, a stark contrast to Sam Darnold’s league‑tying interception total, though his success has come against the Cardinals. Star wideout Jaxon Smith‑Njigba, the NFL’s 2025 receiving‑yardage leader, continues to dominate with smooth routes and 1,000‑plus yards so far, proving hard to double‑team. Seattle’s rushing game struggles at 18th in yards per game after losing Kenneth Walker III, but the return of Zach Charbonnet offers a disciplined, pass‑blocking boost, while recent trade‑acquired guard Quenton Nelson remains sidelined with a minor knee issue.
