Report: Marcus Mariota and Raiders have agreed to terms

The Las Vegas Raiders and Marcus Mariota have reportedly agreed to terms on a contract.

The news comes from Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

The @Raiders have come to terms with Marcus Mariota

Mariota started the 2019 season as the Titans’ starter, but lost his job after Week 6 to Ryan Tannehill. Mariota’s departure from Tennessee was inevitable once that happened, and now the Oregon product appears to have a new home.

Mariota will enter a situation in Las Vegas in which there is already a starting quarterback in place, but Derek Carr is thought to be vulnerable, which gives him at least a shot of getting a starting job.

This is the exact situation Tannehill walked into when he was traded to the Titans last offseason. Now Mariota will have a chance to do what Tannehill did in Tennessee and revive his career by unseating the starter in Vegas.

When he was coming out of college, two of Mariota’s biggest fans were Mike Mayock and Jon Gruden, who are now the general manager and head coach of the Raiders, respectively.

Another positive with this move is that Mariota will be closer to his home state of Hawaii and his alma mater, the University of Oregon. All in all, this move makes a ton of sense for him.
