He&#8217;d get $21 million as a starter. That\u2019s a lot of money for a short-term quarterback when the team has so many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clnsmedia.com\/videos\/top-3-patriots-tight-end-targets-in-free-agency\/\">other needs offensively<\/a>. Plus, it doesn\u2019t seem like Mariota is going to give up that deal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cFrom what I\u2019m hearing, at least from Mariota\u2019s camp, is that they are not willing to play ball on a contract right now.\u201d The asking price is just too high. \u201cAre you willing to say \u2018alright yeah we\u2019re just gonna give you $21 million?\u2019 I don\u2019t think there\u2019s many teams that are willing to do that. Certainly the Patriots are not one of those teams.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">That pretty much sums it up. Bedard also listed other marks against Mariota: his injuries and losing the Titans job to Ryan Tannehill. While anything could happen, unless Mariota and his camp decide to agree to restructure that contract, it\u2019s incredibly unlikely he\u2019ll play quarterback for New England next season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New England Patriots are stuck with one of the worst questions a team can be asked in the NFL; Who on earth is going to play quarterback next season?
