Derek Carr just became the highest paid player in NFL history

The Raiders signed him to a 5-year deal worth $125 million! That puts Carr above Andrew Luck, who is raking in $24.6 million per season.

Carr was amazing before going down with the broken leg, but it was really his "breakout" season. I wonder if he's going to be the best QB in the league over the next five years?

Bad news for the Ravens. Now, their "elite" QB is going to feel underpaid. n/t hughee99 Jun 2017 #3

But I expect him he'll get better and so must the Raiders.
