Marcus Mariota expected to sign reworked $3.5M deal following pay cut request

By Nick Shook, NFL.com: Marcus Mariota is sticking with the Raiders for now following an agreement to reduce his pay for the 2021 season. Mariota is expected to sign a reworked contract with Las Vegas, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported. The deal is for one year worth $3.5 million with a chance to earn up to $8 million including incentives, per Rapoport.

The reworked agreement follows a request from the Raiders for Mariota to take a pay cut down to $3 million. Instead, Mariota negotiated up, gaining $500,000 and giving the Raiders needed cap relief as they attempt to create space to improve their defense. The adjusted deal reduces Mariota’s compensation from the $10.725 million he was set to make in 2021.
