The fate of the leading duo of the 2015 Draft will be written on the bench. After Jameis Winston in New Orleans, it was Marcus Mariota who accepted a clear number two position.
For him, it will be on the side of Philadelphia. ESPN announces that Mariota has signed for one season and $5 million with the Eagles. The total amount of the agreement can go up to 8 million with certain bonuses.
Holder at the start of the season with the Falcons last year, then benched in favor of Desmond Ridder, the number 2 of the 2015 Draft will this time be the understudy of Jalen Hurts. No discussion possible, he will only return to the field in the event of a glitch for the Philadelphia star.
Mariota is 29 years old. The Falcons cut him at the end of February. In 13 games started for Atlanta, he completed 61.3% of his passes for 2,219 yards, 15 touchdowns and 9 interceptions.
