With quarterback Marcus Mariota leaving the Las Vegas Raiders and joining the Atlanta Falcons as their new starting quarterback, the Silver and Black needed to find a new backup quarterback.

That man might have just been found, as the Raiders signed unrestricted free agent quarterback Nick Mullens on Monday.

Mullens spent last year with both the Cleveland Browns and Philadelphia Eagles. Before then, he spent four seasons with the San Francisco 49ers.

During his career, the 6-1, 210-pound quarterback has appeared in 20 games, including 17 starts. He has completed 407-of-630 passes for 4,861 yards. Mullens has thrown 26 touchdowns compared to 22 interceptions in his career.

Last season, Mullens appeared in one game for the Browns, finishing the game with 20-of-30 passes for 146 yards including one touchdown.

The one game he appeared in was against the Raiders.

Mullens will be a welcomed addition to the Silver and Black as he backs up quarterback Derek Carr.
