Marcus Mariota Receiving Trade Interest
4 years agoLas Vegas Raiders quarterback Marcus Mariota is receiving legitimate trade interest from teams around the league, as is quarterback Derek Carr. The Raiders don't seem to have a ton of interest in trading Carr, but Mariota impressed some teams with a great relief appearance for the Raiders late in the season against the Chargers in a game in which Carr was injured. The former first-round pick is still just 27 years old and went 17-for-28 for 226 yards and a touchdown while also running the ball nine times for 88 yards and a score against the Bolts. He's due a base salary of $10.625 million in 2021. Could Mariota be the next Ryan Tannehill? Only time will tell, but Mariota could be an intriguing late-round QB2 in deeper leagues if he's starting in Las Vegas or elsewhere in 2021.
