Will Mariota start?
One of the biggest things Mariota was looking for in his next destination was a chance to start, and the Raiders could give him that opportunity.
The organization seems to be down on Derek Carr, and as a result he’s vulnerable to losing his starting job at some point.
Let’s also not forget that Raiders general manager Mike Mayock and head coach Jon Gruden were both big fans of Mariota coming out of college, so this isn’t a move that happened by accident.
This is a similar situation to the one Ryan Tannehill walked into when the Titans traded for him last season, and Mariota could unseat Carr like Tannehill unseated Mariota.
