NFL News 3/01/2026: Mendoza’s Shocking Claim, $301M Salary Cap Record, and Raiders No. 1 Pick Buzz

Описание: The NFL Draft conversation just took a wild turn — and Fernando Mendoza is right at the center of it.

Mendoza stunned fans after revealing a bizarre request from an unnamed NFL team, claiming, “They wanted me to get arrested.” The comment immediately ignited debate across social media and added even more intrigue to his draft stock.

Meanwhile, Cole Payton delivered a historic NFL Combine performance that has scouts asking whether he could become the next North Dakota State star to crack the top 10. As draft momentum builds, the crowd reactions to Mendoza and Beck couldn’t have been more different — one trending toward the No. 1 overall pick, the other facing unexpected slide concerns.

Adding to the drama, the NFL salary cap has officially hit a record $301.2 million for the 2026 season, reshaping free agency strategy and giving teams like the Raiders serious flexibility.

And speaking of Las Vegas — is the No. 1 pick already decided? Many insiders believe Mendoza and the Raiders are a perfect match, calling it a potential “match made in NFL heaven.”

From shocking draft claims and combine risers to record-breaking financial news and No. 1 pick speculation, this NFL roundup covers everything dominating headlines right now.
