Raiders have interest in signing free agent quarterback Marcus Mariota per report

The are gearing up for their first season Tyson Barrie Jersey in Las Vegas, but it's still a mystery as to who their quarterback will be when they actually kick off this new era in franchise history. They could stick with veteran , but the club has also been pegged as a po sible destination for soon-to-be free agent . Now, there's another quarterback that has reportedly caught the eye of the Raiders bra s as reports that Vegas is interested in free agent .The former No. 2 overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft just finished up his rookie contract with the and is coming off a 2019 campaign where he Blake Comeau Jersey was benched for . Before being sidelined, Mariota struggled mightily, leading Tenne see to a 2-4 record as the starter while completing le s than 60 percent of his pa ses. After he was forced to ride the pine, the Titans took off under Tannehill and reached the AFC championship, which only further highlighted Mariota's struggles.Still, Mariota, who will be just 26-years-old by the start of the 2020 season, has potential that could be unlocked and a change of scenery may do him a world of good. Last season aside, Mariota has proven to be efficient as he keeps critical turnovers relatively low and isn't too far removed from a 2018 John Wensink Jersey season where he completed nearly 70% of his pa ses. He won't wow you with his arm strength, but does have the capability to make plays with his feet to a degree.If the Raiders do bring him aboard, it would in all likelihood be as a backup behind Carr initially. Mariota knows firsthand, however, that even if you start a season as the backup, there's plenty of opportunities to claw your way into that starting spot, especially if Carr doesn't wow head coach Jon Paul Kariya Jersey Gruden out of the gate. Who knows, maybe he can be the 2020 version of Tannehill. It should be noted that Mariota was current Raiders general manager Mike Mayock's No. 1 ranked quarterback Tyson Jost Jersey when he was coming into the league in 2015 so clearly the front office believes in his talent. This report by Garafolo also suggests that, while the Raiders will explore other quarterback options this offseason, going after a veteran backup like Mariota is more likely than the franchise going after the likes of Brady, which is noteworthy as we get close to the start of free agency.
