After the Raiders’ first playoff game in five years last season, quarterback Derek Carr wanted to make sure that he wasn’t the only player to benefit contractually
Carr, along with Maxx Crosby and newly-signed Raider Davante Adams, admitted that the three of them made sure that players like Hunter Renfrow and Darren Waller were given pay raises ahead of next season. The trio prompted discussions during contract talks to see if some of their money can go towards other players like Renfrow and Waller.
“All the momentum has been so positive here, hopefully those things take care of themselves,” Carr said, via The Athletic.
