This is a really massive deal. Carr's $40.5 million new-money average on his three-year extension puts him 5th among QBs and makes him the 7th member of the $40M+ club, joining Aaron Rodgers, Deshaun Watson, Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Matthew Stafford and Dak Prescott.
This continues the trend of paying huge contracts to star players this off-season since the future cap space for all 32 teams has been upgraded.
