Quarterback Derek Carr

The Oakland Raiders have officially locked up their franchise quarterback for the foreseeable future. As he enters his fourth season with the Silver and Black, Derek Carr will remain a Raider for years to come. No. 4 is coming off arguably his best season in the NFL, as he threw for 28 touchdowns, 3,937 yards, and had a rating of 96.7, all contributing to an MVP-candidate season. Following the news of Carr's new deal, members of the team and players from across the sports universe congratulated the former Fresno State Bulldog via Twitter.
