Steelers' Drew Allar contract holdout continues as Raiders sign Mendoza
Summary

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Drew Allar remains unsigned just days before training camp. The situation worsened as the Las Vegas Raiders signed No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza to a four-year, $57.2 million contract. Allar’s contract standoff involves negotiations over guaranteed money and signing bonuses. With only two rookie quarterbacks left unsigned, there is increased pressure for a resolution as Allar cannot participate in training camp without a contract.
