The Panthers and running back Chuba Hubbard are sticking together for a while longer.
On Thursday, the team announced they have signed Hubbard to a four-year contract extension. While the team didn’t release the exact details, Ian Rapoport from NFL Media reports it’s a four-year deal worth $33.2 million.
Hubbard will receive $15 million in guaranteed money, and the deal could be worth up to $37.2 million depending on performance.
This season, Hubbard has rushed 133 times for 665 yards and five touchdowns, and has caught 26 passes for 108 yards and one touchdown. The 2021 fourth-round draft pick has totaled 638 carries for 2,645 yards and 17 touchdowns in his career.
The Panthers also drafted Jonathon Brooks in the second round this year.
However, Brooks hasn’t played yet because of a knee injury he sustained in his final college season. He was activated this week, but is expected to make his debut after the team’s Week 11 bye. Brooks will likely share the backfield with Hubbard for the next few years.
