Silver Minings: Carr’s contract is similar to Brady’s in New England

On Tuesday, the Las Vegas Raiders Derek Carr got the stability he always wanted. The former Fresno State Bulldog got his third contract in the NFL with a three-year, $121 million deal.

It equals out to around $40 Million annually, which makes him one of the highest-paid players in the NFL. However, the final structure of the contract exhibited little guaranteed money and was one of the lowest signed by a quarterback in recent memory.

People speculated this reasoning, with a few seeing it as an out for Josh McDaniels and Dave Ziegler. Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated wrote an article about the contract on Friday.
