Former Tennessee Titans starting quarterback Marcus Mariota reportedly agreed to terms with the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday, putting him in position to compete with Derek Carr for the starting quarterback role. Mariota was the starter in Tennessee for 4 1/2 years until he was benched for Ryan Tannehill last season. Tannehill would subsequently go on a tear that helped lead the Titans to the AFC Championship game, cementing Mariota's fate as in impending free agent.
