The overwhelming majority of backups in the league make less than half what he is making.
Mariota took a pay cut to 3.5 Mil.
Either way, Fitz didn't come here to be a backup, and barring an injury he will be the starter. He has stated that he has no desire to watch football anymore, and if he isn't playing it's time to hang it up.

There is a HUGE difference between 1st and 2nd contract money. We all know that. He may have come because he believes he has the best shot to start here, but since he is on a one year contract RR would be doing a disservice to the franchise NOT to make the job available to the best player. That most likely will be Fitz.
