Commanders re-signed QB Marcus Mariota to a one-year, $7 million contract.

09 March 2026

He’ll remain the backup behind Jayden Daniels in Washington. Mariota runs enough to remain a stable backup and superflex QB2 when he is on the field. Things will change a bit in Washington in 2026 without Kliff Kingsbury, but Mariota is in a decent spot to find work behind Daniels and it’s a worthwhile investment for the Commanders.
