Quarterback Derek Carr and the Las Vegas Raiders have agreed to a three-year contract extension worth $121.5 million. The AFC West has made vast improvements this year and now the Raiders have their franchise quarterback under contract for the next few years. Las Vegas made the massive move to trade for Green Bay Packers star wide receiver Davante Adams and then immediately signed him to an extension. This move gives the team a capable quarterback to throw him the ball.
