Where does Derek Carr’s average salary rank among QBs after Jalen Hurts extension?
The Philadelphia Eagles reset the market at quarterback in a landmark contract extension with Jalen Hurts, and it’s beginning to make Derek Carr’s deal with the New Orleans Saints look like a bargain. Other young quarterbacks in line for paydays include Lamar Jackson (Baltimore Ravens), Justin Herbert (Los Angeles Chargers), and Joe Burrow (Cincinnati Bengals). As more and more of these standout passers get paid, Carr’s average annual salary is going to get passed up. When all’s said and done he’ll probably rank 13th or 14th around the league.
For now, though, here’s where Carr stands compared to his peers around the NFL:
