Quarterback Marcus Mariota, the last unsigned first-round draft pick, inked a deal with the Tennessee Titans on Tuesday, the team announced. An offset clause gives the team a right to recoup guaranteed money if the player is released and signs with another team.
The Titans selected Mariota with the second overall selection in the May draft out of the University of Oregon.
#Titans deal with Mariota has partial offsets.
The Titans might be a franchise without a strong infrastructure right now, with an unclear ownership group, an unstable front office situation and a head coach who could be on the hot seat, they held firm on Mariota and appear to have gotten what they want.
