The Carolina Panthers on Thursday rewarded running back Chuba Hubbard with a four-year contract extension that will run through 2028. The deal, according to a league source, is worth $33 million with a maximum value of $37.

Chuba Hubbard is in the midst of a career year with the Panthers. Carolina is rewarding him with a lucrative, four-year contract extension.

The Panthers reached the midway-ish point of the season (the 17-game schedule makes the math trickier) with a 2-7 record, having matched last season’s win total with a come-from-behind, 23-22 victory over a bad New Orleans team last week at Bank of America Stadium.
