David Carr to brother Derek after historic extension: 'You got lunch'
It looks like Derek Carr will be left with the check for the foreseeable future after reportedly becoming the highest-paid player in NFL history Thursday.
Shortly after the news broke, former NFL quarterback David Carr tweeted his congratulations to his brother in a typical sibling manner.
5yrs 125million .... @derekcarrqb

You got lunch.
Derek's $25-million-per-season average knocks Andrew Luck from atop the NFL's highest-paid players list. After confirming the deal was done on Twitter, the Oakland Raiders quarterback was quick to thank David for his support.
Yes sir! Well deserved. So happy for you and your family...God bless David for paving the way and showing you how to be an NFL QB! #Blessed https://t.co/VmCXfmVGrd

Amen! He deserves so much credit. He took the time and took me under his wing as a little kid and still helps to this day! https://t.co/qIjQr7Ac8S
