How much does it take to get someone to stay in the desert? $141.3 million over four years, as that’s what Derek Carr agreed to remain the Raiders’ quarterback.
Despite a few years of rumors that his time in silver and black could be coming to an end, Carr will now be calling signals in Las Vegas until at least 2025.
It’s technically a three-year extension worth up to $121.5 million, and his contract includes a no-trade clause.
Carr led the Raiders (10-7) to the playoffs last year, and this past offseason the team traded for his college teammate Davante Adams.
