NFL Notes: Marcus Mariota, Trent Richardson, Buccaneers, Cowboys, & Dolphins

Marcus Mariota

Mike Freeman of Bleacher Report reports that โ€œmore than a few teamsโ€ are not happy with Oregon QB Marcus Mariotaโ€™s comments about it not mattering if heโ€™s the No. 1 overall pick in the draft.

Hereโ€™s what Mariota told Scott Smith of Buccaneers.com:

โ€œYou know, being the first pick, to me, itโ€™s not a huge thing,โ€ Mariota said. โ€œYou know, Iโ€™d love to play for the Bucs. But that being said, you know, I think if you find a team that wants you, thatโ€™s going to be the right team. Iโ€™m looking forward to kind of marketing myself and finding that team.โ€

Trent Richardson

  • Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk points out that new Raiders RB Trent Richardonโ€™s rookie contract includes no off-set language.
  • This means he would recoup all of the $3.184 million from the Colts if he wins his grievance against the team.

Buccaneers

  • The Buccaneers announced Friday that theyโ€™ve signed P Andrew Wilder to a contract.

Cowboys

  • Jean-Jacques Taylor mentions that he doesnโ€™t expect to see free agent ILB Rolando McClain back with the Cowboys next season.
  • Taylor refers to McClain as a โ€œhigh maintenance playerโ€ with a lot of drama swirling around him.
  • Todd Archer of ESPN Dallas wonders whether the Cowboys should address CB Orlando Scandrick given that heโ€™s their best corner and will make a below-market salary of the next four years.

Dolphins

  • Dolphins S Louis Delmas, who re-signed with the team on Friday, said that heโ€™s ahead of schedule in his rehab from a torn ACL and expects to be ready for the start of the 2015 season. (James Walker)
