The Carolina Panthers and running back Chuba Hubbard have agreed to a contract extension worth a reported $33.2 million over four years.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the max value of the deal is $37.2 million, with $15 million guaranteed.
This expansion is in the works and Hubbard has been part of the Panthers’ long-term plans. General Manager Dan Morgan said Wednesday that the two sides are moving toward an agreement.
“I’m not going to announce that plan right now, but we’re certainly working on some things right now that we’re excited about,” Morgan said.
Through nine games this season, the 25-year-old Hubbard is fifth in the NFL with 665 rushing yards and is tied for fifth with five touchdowns. He also has 26 receptions for 108 yards and a touchdown. The six total touchdowns matches his career high.
Hubbard, a 2021 fourth-round pick out of Oklahoma State, has been durable throughout his four-year NFL career, missing just two games. He would become a free agent after the 2024 season.
