This is why being drafted in the second round is better then the first. He balled for 3 years and now set the market. Congrats @derekcarrqb https://t.co/pjYfZob2Zf

Carr is a beast he really is. He is player that must be on he field in order for the raiders to win. But is he worth that contract? π€
