What to do with Mariota past 2019

Even if Marcus has a stellar season excluding winning the super bowl there is no way he's getting 35Million over 4 years. 25 over 4 I think would be reasonable for both parties. Bear in mind the cap goes up like 10% every year.

Now if he gets us to the promised land that's gonna be problematic and could probably squeeze 30+ with a shed load of guarantees. But 1 stellar season isn't gonna make him for a Rodgers/Wilson contract.

Unless he flips us the bird and goes to FA then anythings possible I.e Cousins.

All options has an upside in my eyes.

 

Honestly I don't see Mariota as a guy chasing the money. Not saying he won't get the money if he overperfoms, but he seems like a team 1st guy.

 

If that's the case let's re-sign him for 4 years right now at a deal that reflects his play over the past two seasons.

For an example that will make everyone mad....

2017 & 2018 Seasons
Case Keenum
17-13 record, 65%, 7400 yds, 40 TDs, 22 INTs
Marcus Mariota
18-12 record, 65%, 5700 yds, 24 TDs, 23 INTs

Keenum just signed a deal for 1 year, 3.5M.... just sayin

 

I'll bet his agent is not a team first guy and since he'll be negotiating the contract...

 

It’s Mariota. He’ll just give his agent the look and deal’s done.

We’ll have to pay him more now, but not Russell Wilson more. People should’ve listened earlier and we would’ve had a bigger discount

that's the spirit!

WAY to early to assume he'll be offered a deal past 2019.
