Panthers sign Chuba Hubbard to four-year extension

Panthers and running back Chuba Hubbard are going to be together for a while longer.

The team announced it has signed Hubbard to a four-year contract extension on Thursday. They didn’t announce terms, but Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that it is a four-year, $33.2 million deal.

Hubbard will receive $15 million in fully guaranteed money and has a maximum value of $37.2 million.

Hubbard had 133 carries for 665 yards and five touchdowns to go with 26 catches for 108 yards and a touchdown so far this season. The 2021 fourth-round pick has 638 carries for 2,645 yards and 17 touchdowns for his career.

The Panthers drafted Jonathon Brooks in the second round this year, but he hasn’t played yet due to a knee injury he suffered in his senior year of college. He was activated this week but will likely make his debut after the team’s Week 11 bye and is now set to split time in the backfield with Hubbard for several years to come.
