Expected to open season as starter
Mariota is expected to be the Falcons' starting quarterback to start the 2022 regular season, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Mariota signed a two-year contract with the Falcons at the end of March and was the de facto starter with Matt Ryan off to Indianaplis for a third-round pick. However, Desmond Ridder fell to Atlanta in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft, sparking speculation that perhaps the rookie could compete for the No. 1 spot, but after the draft coach Arthur Smith said, "With Marcus being the veteran, that's the way it'll go for now." Even with the loss of Calvin Ridley (suspension), Mariota likely will have strong expectations in his first season with Atlanta after they drafted pass catchers with top-10 overall picks in back-to-back years, but the Falcons offense now features a trio of dynamic playmakers in Drake London (ankle), Kyle Pitts and Cordarrelle Patterson.

The Raiders made Mariota one of the league's highest-paid backup quarterbacks ahead of the 2020 season, but he's since restructured his pact into a one-year deal worth $3.5 million for 2021 after appearing in just one contest last year. Mariota was unable to emerge victorious against the Chargers in Week 15 after starter Derek Carr went down with a groin injury in the first quarter, but the former exhibited versatility and competence, throwing for 226 yards on 17 of 28 passing to accompany nine carries for 88 yards and a touchdown. Originally subjected to trade rumors upon the turn of the calendar year, Mariota remains on track to back up Carr again this season, though much less chatter surrounding a potential QB competition exists this time around.
