The Washington Commanders are bringing QB Marcus Mariota back on a 1-year, $8 million deal. He was a mentor for rookie QB Jayden Daniels, and finished two games during the regular season to help the Commanders finish with a 12-5 record, and a trip to the playoffs. Mariota was expected to get interest in free agency, but opportunities to potentially start again weren’t there, and Washington was a good landing spot for him last year. He returns for another season to continue to guide Daniels, and be ready when needed on the field.

Other teams tried to lure Mariota away. But he loves Washington, where he’s back to back up Jayden Daniels. pic.twitter.com/ZhyOIHwAg7
