Panthers Seal Future with Chuba Hubbard’s $37.2M Extension Ahead of Munich Game

The Carolina Panthers are making moves to secure their roster for the coming years, having announced a significant contract extension for star running back Chuba Hubbard. The deal, reported by

WBTV

, will keep Hubbard in a Panthers’ jersey through the 2028 season, with a value that could reach $37.2 million and includes $15 million guaranteed.

This extension comes during a standout period for Hubbard, who has tallied 665 rushing yards this season, earning him the fifth spot among NFL rushers. His six touchdowns have also tied him for most on the Panthers’ team this year, and according to

Queen City News

, Hubbard’s accumulated 2,645 yards has already made him the club’s 6th all-time rushing leader.

General Manager Dan Morgan expressed his confidence in Hubbard’s role with the franchise. “We are excited to sign Chuba to an extension and keep him in Carolina,” Morgan said, according to a statement obtained by

WBTV

. “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.”

Notably, the Panthers chose not to offload Hubbard, even with the arrival of Jonathan Brooks, who was drafted in the second round of this year’s draft, and the looming possibility of free agency. Hubbard’s performance evidently swayed the decision, as Morgan hinted at an upcoming deal last Wednesday, telling

QC News

, “We’re definitely working towards some stuff right now that we’re excited about.” Hubbard’s efforts ensured his place in the team’s long-term strategy, as noted by NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and echoed in a report by

Sports Illustrated

.

The Panthers, along with their freshly extended running back, are now gearing up for an international game against the New York Giants in Germany. As the NFL attempts to broaden its footprint beyond American soil, Sunday’s game in Munich promises to be a showcase of not just Hubbard’s talents but also of the league’s global reach.
