Chuba Hubbard has earned the trust of the new staff. The franchise returns it to him by offering him a 4-year contract extension for $33.2 million. According to NFL Media, the runner will be able to receive up to $37.2 million with bonuses, including $15 million fully guaranteed.
On average, Chuba Hubbard will receive $8.3 million per season, enough to place him 9e in the hierarchy at his position, ahead of players like Derrick Henry or James Conner. Currently the running back is number 5e most prolific player in the league in terms of yards with 665. To this must be added 5 touchdowns on the ground.
The money of self-denial
Chuba Hubbard's second contract with the Panthers was a long journey. Nothing to foreshadow that when the North Carolina franchise selected him with their 4e tour in 2021.
The rider had to face competition from Christian McCaffrey to start his career. He was then barred by D'Onta Foreman, who was more effective. Then the franchise signed Miles Sanders to lead the ground attack. Finally, with their second round of the 2024 draft it is the talent Jonathon Brooks who landed in Carolina. Chuba Hubbard’s resilience was great.
Thanks to injuries and the poor performance of his teammates, the runner rose through the ranks to become the number one full-time running back. In total, Chuba Hubbard amassed 2,645 yards and 17 touchdowns on 638 carries with the Carolina Panthers.
