Related: About this forumDerek 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?
