It has been reported by multiple sources that Marcus Mariota is set to return to the Washington Commanders on a one-year, $8 million deal. The 31-year-old quarterback, entering his 11th NFL season, played a key role in mentoring rookie Jayden Daniels throughout the 2024 season, stepping in to lead the team to two victories when Daniels was injured. Mariota’s standout moments included a 205-yard, two-touchdown performance against the Titans and a game-winning drive to defeat the Cowboys.
A former Heisman Trophy winner, Mariota’s career has seen him play for the Titans, Raiders, Falcons, and Eagles. With 93 career games, 16,184 passing yards, and 18 rushing touchdowns, he brings invaluable experience and depth to Washington’s quarterback room.
