After two seasons, Carr had 53 career touchdown passes, the second-most by a quarterback in his first two seasons, behind Dan Marino's 68, at the time. 

In 2017, Carr signed a five-year, $125 million contract extension with $40 million fully guaranteed, $70 million in total guarantees and a $12.5 million signing bonus. This deal surpassed Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck's contract as the league's highest-paid player in terms of average money per year at the time. Carr finished the 2019 season with 4,054 passing yards, 21 passing touchdowns, and eight interceptions as the Raiders finished with a 7–9 record.
