Seahawks’ Russell Wilson now seventh-highest paid QB after Oakland’s Derek Carr signs big deal

The monster contract signed by Derek Carr of the Oakland Raiders Thursday also moves Seattle’s Russell Wilson down another spot in the QB salary pecking order to seventh.

Carr signed what is reported to be a five-year deal worth $125 million with $70 million guaranteed and $40 million guaranteed at signing, a contract that also makes him the highest-paid player in the NFL

The contract comes less than two years after Wilson signed his deal with Seattle in July, 2015, a four-year extension worth $87.6 million overall with 31.7 million guaranteed at signing and $61.
