Washington Commanders face significant roster turnover and staffing changes after parting ways with both coordinators, leaving general manager Adam Peters with many pending free-agent decisions. The team has the most out-of-contract players in the league, and not all will return. Marcus Mariota is a pending free agent who has expressed affection for Washington and Dan Quinn but also expressed a desire to explore starting opportunities. Mariota said he will take time to consider options after getting starting reps this season. His recent play creates the possibility of a bridge-starter role with another club if he departs.
"First and foremost, I love it here. I love Q [Dan Quinn]. I love what they're building here, but it's kind of going to similar to what happened last year for me. Just take some time, see if there are options. I love to play, especially being in those moments this year, kind of solidified to me how much I just love being out there. So, we'll see what that looks like for me."
