Las Vegas, NV (KXNT) - The top two quarterbacks for the Las Vegas Raiders in 2020 will be the top two quarterbacks for the Raiders in 2021.

Marcus Mariota is staying with the club after signing a one year deal for a reported $3.5M. The contract has plenty of incentives, though, that can earn Mariota up to $8M.

Mariota was the backup to Derek Carr in 2020, but started one game after Carr suffered a groin injury.
