Mariota's $7.3M re-signing justified by 2024 performance and coaching continuity value.

The source re-signed Mariota to a $7.3m cap hit for 2026 after initially being disappointed by his $6m deal in 2024, but Mariota's 2024 performance made the source a believer. The source values continuity with Mariota given coaching changes at OC, QB coach, and OL coach. The Week 3 win over the Seahawks has justified the investment, and the source hopes Mariota spends the rest of the season on the bench as a backup.
