Of the many things to keep an eye on for the Las Vegas Raiders, quarterback Derek Carr is one of them as he enters the last season on his five-year $125-million contract.

While General Manager Dave Ziegler did admit he and Carr already have talked about potential contract extension talks, right now it’s all about establishing a base relationship.

“It’s been awesome getting to know Derek,” Ziegler said at the NFL Scouting Combine. “Just a really consciences good person that loves football and you can feel that when you talk to him, so that’s really exciting,

“We talked about it, we’re still in that and Derek mentioned it too, we’re in that business relationship phase where we’re learning each other, just personalities and creating a relationship so we’re still working through that process and as we work through those processes, those different things will come up.”

Neither side is rushing or necessarily worried about contract extension talks at the moment. They are still in the acquainting stage with the new staff.

It also seems both C Josh McDaniels and Ziegler are on the same page.
