Derek Carr backloaded his contract with the Oakland Raiders to save on state income tax.

Carr will be moving from the highest income tax state of California to Nevada, where there is no state income tax.

Given the structure of Carr's deal, the move will save him approximately $8.7 million in taxes assuming a 2019 move, according to Robert Raiola.

Carr stands to net more after taxes off a $20 million Nevada salary in 2019 ($11.54 million) than he'll take home from a $22.5 million California salary in 2018 ($11.15 million).
