The NFL is one of the most popular games in the world. The sport gathers a lot of interest and ratings every season. With the rise in popularity, the rise in income is inevitable. The players get paid handsomely for their efforts. Recently, the Las Vegas Raiders signed a three-year extension with their star quarterback Derek Carr.

Derek Carr signs an extension with the Las Vegas Raiders
Derek Carr is one of the most important players in the Las Vegas Raiders offense. He is the heart and soul of the attack. The Raiders have benefited a lot since they picked Carr in the second round of the 2014 NFL draft. In the 2016 season, the quarterback led the franchise to its first playoffs appearance since 2002. He also helped Las Vegas clinch another postseason berth in 2021. The three-time Pro Bowler is one of the best quarterbacks in the league today.
Just over a month ago, Carr reunited with his college buddy Davante Adams. The Raiders signed the wide receiver to a blockbuster deal. But they brought out the big bucks again. The America’s Most Wanted signed a three-year extension with the quarterback worth $121.5 million. Carr will earn an average of $40.5 million per year and play with the Men in Black till 2025. The net worth of the QB is $80 million.
