Raiders captain Marcus Mariota is the subject of trade chatter this month, but a deal may not be as likely as it seemed a few weeks ago.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that talks between the Raiders and other teams ‘came down a bit’, but that you significantly cooled the last few days. Mariota’s contract seems to be the firm point.
He will earn a base salary of $ 10.625 million with a maximum amount of $ 11.35 million, but incentives in the contract could more than double his remuneration if he is an appetizer for the entire 2021 season.
The base salary without the incentives is probably not a big issue for a team that considers Mariota an appetizer. This will make it difficult for the Raiders to hold on to Mariota as a backup for Derek Carr, and the prospect of Mariota’s release could also be a factor in teams staying away from a possible trade for the second overall pick of 2015. -concept.
