There isn’t normally a lot of significant NFL news at this time of year. But Thursday morning, there was, as the Oakland Raiders and Derek Carr announced a massive extension, one that averages $25 million annually.
You might be asking yourself what that has to do with the Green Bay Packers? The answer is simple, it means that someday soon, the Packers are going to have to pay Aaron Rodgers a boatload of money.
The Carr deal is probably just the start as more big quarterback deals are on the horizon. It was worth five years and $125 million.
