Derek Carr, the franchise quarterback of the Oakland Raiders, is now the highest paid player in NFL history thanks to a five-year, $125 million contract extension.
Derek, as his way, confirmed the signing on his Twitter account with great enthusiasm:
Now it's done ! From the jump I've wanted to be a Raider 4 life. One step closer to that! Blessed!!! Business done! Let's just play now!!!

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network was the first to confirm, of course. And then the comments degenerated from there…as usual.
