Report: Raiders strike agreement with Mariota

The Las Vegas Raiders have finalized a deal with former Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal's Vincent Bonsignore.

Terms of the deal are currently unknown.

Mariota will slide into the backup role behind Derek Carr, barring an unforeseen move that would leave the Raiders in need of a new starter.

Drafted No. 2 overall in 2015, Mariota spent five campaigns in Tennessee. He thrived in a game-manager role but struggled when asked to carry the Titans' offense.

Benched by the Titans in favor of Ryan Tannehill early last season, Mariota never regained the starting job as Tennessee rode to an appearance in the AFC Championship Game.

Mariota, 26, has averaged 210 passing yards per contest in 63 career games. He's amassed 88 touchdowns (76 passing, 11 rushing, and one receiving) while tossing 44 interceptions and owns a career passer rating of 89.6.
