April 13 (UPI) -- Derek Carr and the Las Vegas Raiders agreed to a multi-year contract extension Wednesday, the veteran quarterback confirmed on social media.

He is now under contract with the Raiders through the 2025 season. His new deal features a no-trade clause.

Carr signed a five-year, $125 million extension in 2017, which means he is set to earn $141.3 million over four years.

The eight-year veteran completed 68.4% of his throws for 4,804 yards, 23 scores and 14 interceptions last season. He also led the Raiders to a 10-7 record and a postseason appearance.

The second-round pick in the 2014 NFL Draft completed 65% of his throws for 31,700 yards, 193 scores and 85 interceptions through his first 127 career games. He is 57-70 as a starter. Carr made the Pro Bowl for three-consecutive seasons from 2015 through 2017.

Carr will make about $19.8 million in base salary next season. He also will reunite with former California State University, Fresno, college teammate Davante Adams in 2022. The Raiders acquired the All-Pro wide receiver in March through a trade with the Green Bay Packers.
