After a successful 2024 season, Marcus Mariota secured a one-year, $8 million extension with the Commanders. Reflecting on his journey, he praised the team's culture and environment, describing it as the best he has experienced. Mariota noted that any offers from other teams would need to be significantly appealing to deter him from Washington. He highlighted the team's close-knit bonds as a crucial element to their success, labeling it their 'secret sauce' for winning.
When I took a step back and thought about it and reflected, it was so important for me to be a part of this and to just enjoy my journey. There's been a lot of ups...and downs [in my career] and I just wanted to enjoy coming into work.
The grass isn't always greener. Any offer from another team was really going to have to knock [my] socks off to get me to leave.
