Derek Carr is going to get a handsome pay day from the Silver & Black — again. A report surfaced two weeks ago that the Las Vegas Raiders are prepared to commit to their quarterback with an extension.
“Sources say the Raiders are moving forward with Carr at QB and prepared to discuss a contract extension that would keep him in Las Vegas for the foreseeable future. Carr has one year left on his contract, making nearly $20 million,” NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport wrote.
Now let’s not get it twisted: Rap goes on to prognosticate a “strong a short-term deal” is likely imminent and the new Vegas brain trust of general manager Dave Ziegler and head coach Josh McDaniels aren’t set to anchor themselves with Carr long-term.
