Mariota trade market suddenly dries up

Last week, Las Vegas Raiders backup quarterback MARCUS MARIOTA seemed like a strong candidate to be the next signal-caller on the move. This week, the trade market for Mariota appears to have “dried up significantly” according to the NFL Network. While Mariota’s base contract of just over $10 million per year is reasonable, his deal also has incentives that could add an additional $12 million per year. If no team is willing to take on Mariota’s incentive laden contract, the Raiders could be forced to release him due to their current salary cap woes.
