There were many reactions to Derek Carr receiving a massive contract extension from the Oakland Raiders on Thursday -- reportedly making the 26-year-old the highest paid player in the NFL -- including this lovely reminder from ESPN's Jeff Darlington.
Indeed, life as the league's highest-paid player at a given position is often short-lived, as the most recent deal is usually the largest. Carr is reportedly going to sign a five-year extension worth $125 million, with $40 fully guaranteed and more than $70 million in total guarantees, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
