If anything happens, Marriota can step in and run the same offense.

Mariota is awful, but would be a good babysitter. You would like it if we signed a 52 year old Gus Frerotte as long as it meant Sam was out the door. Lol.

100%

If they wanted a vet, should have just upped the offer to Brissett 8-9 million and signed him.

Mariota is trash and quit on ATL like a bitch

He got benched for Ridder who is arguably the worst QB in the league. I have no idea what they see in him, even as a backup. Jacoby is way better.

Marriota was signed to a one-year 6 million dollar deal he's not anything more than a camp body that knows Brian Johnson's system. Howell is young and still on a rookie deal it''d be ridiculous to trade him for anything less than a third, simply because one good day as a backup will increase his value next year. Keeping three quarterbacks on the roster, two on rookie deals and one at six million Is good cap management given how injuries can go with QBs.

I don't think you give Mariota $6 million to be a "camp body". That has to be up there with the highest paid backup quarterbacks...

It's kind of high average as a one year cost, but not anything at allespecially when looking at total contract values.

BUT when you've got two other QBs on rookie salaries it makes that cap cost a lot less daunting

Yeah he’s clearly coming in as the backup… I don’t get the “what about Sam” nonsense. We paid JB $8m last year so yeah Mariota’s deal is right in line with backup money.

You haven't given it to him until he makes it to the regular season.

[Ruhskins]

You need a veteran backup, if you're going to have a rookie QB starting day one. I'm fine with that signing for that reason. Hopefully Mariota won't have to take any meaningful snaps.

Sam barely has a full season under his belt. If you're going to have a high draft pick QB, you need a vet back up to help with their upbringing.

Another...

Nicki Jhabvala
Former Cowboys DE Dante Fowler Jr. agreed to terms with the Commanders, per source.

Fowler is the third ex-Cowboy to reunite with Dan Quinn in Washington.

Not a bad move, he's a pass rusher specialist. Not sure if he is still that good lately though.

Maybe depends on the contract. Anything more that 2.5mil would be a mistake.

[EdmundDorf]

And another.... still not a OT in sight though

Tom Pelissero
Long snapper news: The #Commanders are signing Tyler Ott to a three-year deal, per source. A reunion with new coordinator Larry Izzo, who coached him in Seattle.
