Las Vegas Raiders: 3 teams that should trade for Marcus Mariota right now

Washington Football Team

The Washington Football Team will roll with Ryan Fitzpatrick as their starting quarterback this season, this after Alex Smith retired, and they wanted to go with a veteran. Fitzpatrick has had some wonderful moments in the NFL and has been paid a boatload of money, but there are still so many question marks when it comes to his game.

Some days, he looks like a Hall of Fame quarterback, and others, he looks like he does not even belong in the league. That is a real problem, especially for a team that plays in a very winnable division, and one that does not have a lot of experience behind him on the depth chart.

By adding Mariota, the Washington Football Team has a plan behind Fitzpatrick and someone who has more experience than Taylor Heinecke. The WFT has a win-now defense, and some exciting offensive weapons and Fitz-Magic has never proven to be effective for a full 16-game slate.
