Derek Carr sets a deadline for contract discussion with Raiders
Derek Carr would not be happy if the Raiders and his agent could not get a contract finished before Training Camp begins in July. Carr said if they do not have an extension in place by July 28th/29th, he won’t answer their phone until the end of the season.
“I wouldn’t even answer my phone,” Carr said Tuesday, following the Raiders’ open-to-the-media OTA practice. “The money isn’t the thing that drives me. … What drives me is making sure I’m giving everything that I have with my abilities, and making sure that we win. And I don’t want anything distracting my thought process at all.
“Now, that’s not a jab, or anything like that. That’s just me saying I’m not going to deal with anything that’s not helping me just focus on winning.”
