The Facts: The Eagles are bringing on Mariota to serve as Jalen Hurts' backup, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Mariota agreed to a one-year, $5 million deal worth up to $8 million.

Diehards Line: Mariota, who rushed for a career-high 438 yards despite playing 13 games in 2022, has made 74 career starts. He piloted the Titans to the 2017 divisional round, leading an upset over the Chiefs in Alex Smith‘s final Kansas City start, and Tennessee picked up his fifth-year option — despite injuries intervening in 2016 and 2018 — before its seminal Tannehill trade. Mariota will now join a fourth team as the Eagles need a backup after looking Gardner Minshew to the Colts a day earlier.
