The Raiders are reportedly close to a record-breaking extension with Derek Carr, who finds himself in the right situation at the right time.
Derek Carr is about to get paid.
According to Adam Schefter, Carr and the Oakland Raiders are working on an extension that could pay the quarterback $25 million per year, which would eclipse Andrew Luck's record average annual value. While this typically isn't the best way -- or even a good way -- to look at contracts, it's going to be a sticking point because it's the highest.
