Derek Carr, Raiders Want to Complete New Contract Extension

Speaking to reporters Friday, Oakland Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie said the Raiders and quarterback Derek Carr are both determined to put pen to paper on a contract extension.

"I feel good about it," McKenzie said. "Both sides want to get it done. ... I'm looking forward to getting it done."

McKenzie has been transparent about discussions with Carr for weeks. In March, he told reporters at the league's annual meeting in Phoenix that talks would likely intensify at the start of May.

"More likely, the serious talks will happen after the draft," McKenzie said.
