The Facts: The Falcons have agreed to terms with Mariota on a two-year deal.

Diehards Line:The move is no surprise. After the Falcons traded Matt Ryan to the Colts, Mariota became an immediate target. Arthur Smith, the head coach of the Falcons, was on the offensive staff with Mariota on the Tennessee Titans, first as tight ends coach and later as offensive coordinator. Mariota, 28, spent the last two seasons backing up Derek Carr with the Raiders. He did not start any games in that stretch.
