Raiders Retired Numbers: Policy & 2026 Roster
Posted by JerseyZenith on Oct 25th 2026
- The Fernando Mendoza jersey number is 15.
- The Raiders do not retire jersey numbers, officially or unofficially.
- Numbers are not withheld through retirement; assignments still follow NFL position rules and roster availability.

- Fernando Mendoza wears 15 and Kirk Cousins wears 8.
This guide covers why the Raiders have no retired numbers, the 2026 roster numbers fans buy most and the numbers tied to team legends. It does not cover the NFL's position rules, which have their own guide.
Raiders retired numbers
| Number | Honoree | Position and years | Retired |
|---|---|---|---|
| None | No player | The Raiders do not retire numbers | No numbers withdrawn by retirement |
The Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Raiders team-facts page lists retired uniform numbers as “None.” That policy permits a legend’s number to be assigned again. It does not mean an occupied number is available today, or that the league’s number ranges cease to apply.
Who wears what in 2026
| Player | Number | Position |
|---|---|---|
| Ashton Jeanty | 2 | Running back |
| Brock Bowers | 89 | Tight end |

| Fernando Mendoza | 15 | Quarterback |
| Kirk Cousins | 8 | Quarterback |

Rosters change during the season, so confirm a player is still on the team before you order a name and number.
Famous numbers in Raiders history
Because no number is retired, the best-known numbers belong to legends and to whoever wears them now. Bo Jackson wore 34 and Charles Woodson wore 24. Searches for Jerry Rice, Marshawn Lynch and Randy Moss Raiders jerseys also come up often, but their numbers are not verified here, so check the product listing before ordering. Brock Bowers wears 89 and Maxx Crosby wears 98.
More roster numbers
| Player | Number | Position |
|---|---|---|
| Michael Mayer | 87 | Tight end |
| Jack Bech | 18 | Wide receiver |
| Nakobe Dean | 17 | Linebacker |
| Kwity Paye | 95 | Defensive end |
| Jeremy Chinn | 11 | Safety |
| Eric Stokes | 5 | Cornerback |
| Mike Washington Jr. | 4 | Running back |
With no retired numbers, you will see single digits on defenders and linemen in the 90s alike. Check the roster before you pick a number, because ranges are set by position.
Why the Raiders do not retire numbers
Wikipedia states the policy plainly and does not give a reason, so we do not guess one. The practical effect for a shopper is simple: a jersey with a legend's number is a tribute only if you buy it that way, because the number may be worn by a current player. When you order a name and number, match both to the player you want.
Choosing a listed name and number
Browse the listed names and numbers; the team’s policy does not mean every possible combination is sold. Shop the Raiders jersey collection for current players, or build your own in the 3D jersey designer. For position ranges, see the NFL jersey number rules.
Which Raiders numbers fans buy
Bowers’ 89 and Jeanty’s 2 are current-player choices in the cited roster. For an older player, match the name and era before comparing a white away jersey with the black home design. See the Raiders uniform history and 2026 uniform guide for design context.
Hall of Fame status does not retire a Raiders number
Marcus Allen, Howie Long, Ken Stabler and Tim Brown are part of Raiders history, but Canton membership does not override the franchise’s number policy. The Raiders Hall of Famers guide covers induction history. Use this page to look up numbers, rather than treating a list of honorees as a retired-number list.
