There are so many quarterbacks dropping like flies, that it is easy to see why a general manager for a contending team would want a young experienced QB like former Tennessee Titans starter, Marcus Mariota in the fold.
Obviously there are about 20 quarterbacks in the NFL that are solid starters or better who earned their jobs. However, for the other 12 teams (and including some of those 20 depending on if they are dealing with a short term injury) it is easy to see why someone who was loved pre-draft like Marcus Mariota would be enticing.
However, what is going to keep him off of some team’s boards completely is his salary.
