Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr has a positive outlook regarding the organization's decision to sign Marcus Mariota in free agency.

In an interview with Vic Tafur of The Athletic, Carr made it clear that he has no issue with the fact that the Raiders brought in Mariota to back him up and potentially even compete with him for the starting job:

"I gotta be honest with you, it doesn't even bother me one bit. And that is being completely true to myself. No one outside of who I am is going to push me harder than me.
