Reunites with Head Coach Arthur Smith
We have agreed to terms on a two-year contract with QB Marcus Mariota. (Falcons on Twitter)
Nerdy Football Analysis: After shipping Matt Ryan off the Indianapolis, the Falcons will pencil in Mariota as the starter for 2022. The passing weapons are thin for the former Raider with only Kyle Pitts as a legitimate option. Mariota does bring some juice with his legs which will give his fantasy value a nice boost. The Falcons should still kick the tires on rookie quarterbacks in next month’s NFL Draft.
