When Josh McDaniels and Dave Ziegler interviewed with the Las Vegas Raiders, it was rumored that they’d be looking to give starting quarterback Derek Carr a contract extension.
Now, a few weeks later and after McDaniels and Ziegler have been hired as the Raiders head coach and general manager, those rumors have become an official report. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network dropped an article on Sunday stating that the organization is moving forward with a contract extension for Carr.
“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,” writes Rapoport.
