Ex-Raiders quarterback agrees to terms with Falcons
Former Raiders quarterback Marcus Mariota agreed to terms on a two-year contract with the Atlanta Falcons on Monday.
Mariota spent two seasons in Las Vegas as the backup to Derek Carr, completing 18 of 30 passes for 230 yards and one touchdown.
With the Falcons trading longtime starter Matt Ryan to the Indianapolis Colts on Monday, Mariota should get a chance to start in Atlanta, where he will be reunited with coach Arthur Smith, a former offensive assistant in Tennessee when Mariota played for the Titans.
