NFL insider Ian Rapoport says the deal is $150M with $100M in total guarantees, $70M is fully guaranteed ($60M at signing, another $10M in Year 3 vesting after Year 1).
Carr would be reunited with his first head coach, Dennis Allen, who coached the raiders from 2012-2014. Carr's rookie year was in 2014 when Allen was fired after the Raiders had an 0-4 start.
He has started 142 career games in his career with a record of 63-79 and a 0-1 playoff record.
Last season Carr threw for 3,522 yards, 24 touchdowns, and 14 interceptions with a 60.9% completion percentage in 2022, leading the Raiders to a 6-9 record before being benched in Week 17.
