Panthers GM Dan Morgan comments on Chuba Hubbard’s contract extension

Yesterday, Carolina Panthers president of football operations and general manager Dan Morgan hinted towards some exciting “stuff” that he was working on. And today, he delivered.

On Thursday morning, the team announced a four-year, $33.2 million contract extension for running back Chuba Hubbard. The agreement—as first reported by NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport—contains a maximum value of $37.2 million with $15 in new guaranteed money, and could keep the 25-year-old in Carolina through the 2028 campaign.

Morgan, per an official release, provided the following statement on the move:

“We are excited to sign Chuba to an extension and keep him in Carolina. He exemplifies everything we want on and off the field. Chuba is passionate about football, is productive and is committed to his teammates and winning.”

Hubbard has led the Panthers in rushing in two of his first three full seasons. Through nine games of his fourth campaign, he’s run for 665 yards—currently the fifth-most in the NFL.
