Next season will be the final year on the big five-year, $125 million extension Derek Carr signed with the Raiders back in 2017. That deal was signed following Carr’s big 2016 season, making him the highest-paid player in NFL history at that time. Whether the team opts to go down that road again with Carr remains to be seen.
Monday, the team announced their new General Manager Dave Ziegler and head coach Josh McDaniels. And the subject of their plans for Derek Carr was naturally among the subjects discussed more than once.
McDaniels was the longtime offensive coordinator for the Patriots, during which time he had Tom Brady every season until these past two years.
