Derek Carr is not yet the richest player in NFL history.
The Raiders quarterback is progressing toward a deal that could potentially make him the league's first $25 million man, as NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported earlier this month, but there is nothing official yet. The Raiders and Carr "are in a good place" and hope to have a deal to report before training camp, per Rapoport.
Carr himself took to Twitter to say there's no deal just a few minutes after ESPN reported that Carr and the Raiders were "close to finalizing" an extension.
