NFL DRAFT ROOKIE GUIDE IS NOW LIVE!
Free-agent quarterback Marcus Mariota is signing a one-year, $6 million deal worth up to $10 million, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The former No. 2 overall pick in 2015 is set to join his fifth team after five years with the Tennessee Titans, two years with the Las Vegas Raiders, and one year a piece with the Atlanta Falcons and Philadelphia Eagles. In 90 games (74 starts), Mariota has passed for 15,820 yards, 93 touchdowns, and 55 interceptions. He's added over 2,000 yards and 17 scores on the ground. He's set to join a quarterback room that already has Sam Howell, and the Commanders are likely to take a quarterback in the 2024 NFL Draft with the No. 2 overall pick. That said, Mariota will likely be competing for the backup job, though some teams choose to start a veteran early in the season as they ease a rookie into action. Mariota slightly enters the two-QB and Superflex league fantasy radar for 2024.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Marcus Mariota completed 13 of 20 passes for 148 yards, one touchdown, and one interception while adding six carries for 46 yards and a fumble during Sunday's 10-27 loss to the New York Giants. Jalen Hurts (finger) looked like he would exit the game due to his injury but came back in before being pulled by the coaching staff once the game was out of reach. Mariota did his best with the weapons he had, but all of the Eagles starting skill players outside of Dallas Goedert were out of the game. The extent of Hurts' injury is unknown, but since he already returned to this game and was throwing the ball, it is hard to imagine that he will sit out next week when the Eagles travel to Tampa Bay.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Marcus Mariota took over for Jalen Hurts (finger) in Sunday's AFC East clash with the Giants. New York is up big currently, so Hurts, who suffered a gruesome finger injury, isn't expected to return for the rest of the contest. If that's the case, he'll finish with 55 yards and a pick off 7-for-16 passing. Nonetheless, Hurts managed to return briefly after sustaining the injury. However, he'll likely carry an injury designation ahead of the Eagles' first postseason contest. Philadelphia needs Hurts in the lineup, considering Mariota threw a pick on his first pass attempt of the day.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Marcus Mariota was brought in this offseason to be the backup to Jalen Hurts this upcoming season. However, the 29-year-old might've played his way off the 53-man roster, according to Mike Garafolo. Rookie quarterback Tanner McKee has exceeded expectations and earned praise from the coaching staff. On Thursday, McKee completed 19-of-34 passing attempts for 158 yards during the preseason finale. Honestly, McKee might've done enough to overtake Mariota for the backup gig. The Eagles must decide how much faith they truly have in Mariota to play a role on this team in case Hurts does go down.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Marcus Mariota completed 9-of-17 passes for 86 yards, threw an interception, and took one carry for five yards during the team's 18-18 tie with the Cleveland Browns. The Eagles' offense struggled throughout most of the first half with the veteran under center, scoring just three of their 18 points. While Philadelphia gave Mariota $5 million this offseason, with the chance to earn $8 million, he has not been overly impressive through two preseason games. Tanner McKee had a much better night but was playing against the third-string defense. We will unlikely see Jalen Hurts step onto the field next week against Indianapolis, but even if he does, Mariota should see another two-quarters of play.
