The NFL quarterback market continues to soar to sky-scraping heights. If you can sling a football, you’re going to be cashing a monstrous check — even if you’re not considered one of the premier signal callers in the league.
Proof of this came down last week when Raiders QB Derek Carr — a good but not great player — signed a three-year extension with Las Vegas for $121.5 million. That’s $40.5 million per year.
No, the deal isn’t exactly what it seems. Much of the guaranteed money kicks in three days after the next Super Bowl, which means Carr is going to have to prove himself to the Raiders in 2022.
