The Las Vegas Posse of the All American Football League have signed former L.A. Raiders quarterback Todd Marinovich.

Marinovich was drafted in the first round of the 1991 NFL Draft by the Raiders with the 24th overall pick. He signed a three-year, $2.25 million dollar contract with the team. He played sparingly during the 1991 season and was relegated to a backup role.

Marinovich shared the Raiders' starting job with Jay Schroeder during the 1992 season. He completed 81 of 165 passes (49 percent) for 1,102 yards and five touchdowns with nine interceptions.

Marinovich was suspended for the 1993 season due to drug violations and was subsequently released. An attempted comeback in 1994 with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers failed after an injury during training camp.

Marinovich joins veteran Timm Rosenbach and third-year man Len Williams on the Posse roster.
