NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- After a few months of negotiations, quarterback Marcus Mariota and the Tennessee Titans agreed to terms on a contract on Tuesday, the team announced.
Titans G.M. Rushton Webster confirmed a deal had been "done" with the No. 2 overall selection and Oregon's first Heisman Trophy-winning player.
"We are glad to have the deal with Marcus done, and I'd like to thank both Marcus and his representatives for their diligence in working with us to finalize this contract," Webster said in a statement.
"We were confident that Marcus would be under contract before training camp, and we look forward to him starting his career on time with his teammates when we open camp next week. This is an exciting time for the Tennessee Titans organization, and we look forward to a bright future."
Mariota completed 105 touchdowns for over 10,000 yards in 41 appearances for the University of Oregon over three seasons. He threw for 4,454 yards and 42 touchdowns last season, rushing for an additional 770 yards and 15 touchdowns before falling to Ohio State in the national championship game.
