    Wow, you you must REALLY know Marcus Mariota. Think we can get together and hang out sometime? I honestly don't think he is even close to that kind of person. Now I'm not saying he will let them walk all over him but I don't think he will ask for the Brinks truck either.

    Players dont ask for the money themselves, its on the agents...

    And you better believe Mariota's agent is aiming for the highest figure he can get so his 3% cut is higher....

    I know the players don't personally ask for the money, but I also don't believe for one second that his agent has 100% of Marcus Mariota's voice. I would hope that his agent has a clear understanding of what Marcus wants, not himself just because he gets a cut.

    Often times the agent is the one telling the players what they want. Agents have a better understanding of the market and what their guys are worth..

    Obviously there are occasions where the player knows the importance of playing team ball and leaving some money on the table for his teammates to get paid later, but thats rare..

    I expect him to cash in every bit as much as Carr just did.. Hes earned it...

    Both are masters of closing the deal and becoming a power player in their crafts.

    I wish we could get him at Carr's deal. 40mil guaranteed and 25 per year. MM going to get around 26/27 imo.

    I voted equal because I think it will be that, or very close. They're very comparable QBs, and JR is a good negotiator.

    He'll be in the same ballpark, and rightfully so. Around 25 mil per. It won't be a problem.

    We could get him at that price if we extend him after this season

    Otherwise you're right about the 26/27 prediction

    To be fair, to think Mariota would consider 15 million is absolutely ludicrous, nor would the Titans ever make such an insulating offer

    Isn't Mike Glennon making 14 mil in Chicago?

    Mariota is a great dude, but let's a grip ppl. U wouldn't be working for half your reasonable salary either
