If there is one thing we have learned about Jon Gruden, it’s that he likes to cycle through quarterbacks. 2019 was no different as Mike Glennon, Nathan Peterman, and DeShone Kizer all served as Derek Carr’s backup at one point during the year.

The Raiders would like to continue to churn that position, potentially even bringing in a high-quality backup to push Carr, if needed. Luckily for Mike Mayock and Gruden, there are several intriguing options in free agency the team could sign to accomplish that goal.

Today, we are taking a look at four potential options the Raiders could bring in to back up Carr in 2020. So without further ado, let’s take a look at the possible names.

1. QB Marcus Mariota, Titans

Potentially the top name on the Raiders’ wishlist could be Marcus Mariota, who appears to be on his way out of Tennessee. After being benched in favor of Ryan Tannehill, Mariota could look for a fresh start on a team that could maximize his skill set.

While Mariota would love the opportunity to start once again, there just aren’t enough quarterback jobs available right now. But he could sign with the Raiders, back up Carr, and potentially restore some of his value if asked to play.

Mariota would also give the Raiders another high-upside option behind Carr if he were to struggle this season. Mariota likely won’t command a ton of money in free agency, but look for the Raiders to have interest in the former No. 2 pick in the 2015 NFL Draft.
