Eagles agree to 1-year, $5 million deal with QB Marcus Mariota

Marcus Mariota made our list of non-compensatory free agents, and potential NFC free agents to target, and over 10 years after Chip Kelly tried to secure his services, he’s now an Eagle.

Philadelphia agreed to a one-year, $5 million deal that could reach $8 million.

The Falcons released Mariota after he started the first 13 games in 2022. Mariota, who was a Heisman Trophy runner-up at Oregon and the No. 2 overall pick for the Tennessee Titans in the 2015 NFL draft, signed a two-year deal with Atlanta as an unrestricted free agent last offseason.

Mariota wouldn’t count against the comp picks formula, while giving Philly a competent backup.
