Raiders quarterback Marcus Mariota suffered a sharp cut in the payment of the contract he agreed to this week, but achieved something with the deal: a no-trade clause.
Mariota’s new contract has the non-trade clause that his old contract did not, according to Greg A. Bedard.
This does not necessarily mean that Mariota cannot be traded, but it does mean that Raiders cannot trade it without your permission. Therefore, if a team in the playoff dispute loses its starting quarterback, Mariota can dispense with the non-negotiation clause to go somewhere where he can start and win games. But the Raiders cannot unload him on a team he doesn’t want to play.
The Raiders tried to negotiate with Mariota under his old business, with which he would earn $ 10.725 million. With her new deal, Mariota is making just $ 3.5 million this season, with incentives of up to $ 8 million. Your new contract may make you more attractive to business partners, but only if Mariota agrees.
