Chuba Hubbard has done more than work hard and produce results as a member of the Carolina Panthers. He’s also endeared himself to a fan base that, perhaps more than any other in the NFL, needs continuity.
On Thursday morning, the Panthers announced a long-term extension for the fourth-year running back. Hubbard, according to NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport, will jump into a four-year pact worth up to $37.2 millionโwhich would keep him in Charlotte through the 2028 season.
Here’s how some (very happy) Panthers fans are taking the news . . .
FOUR MORE YEARS! FOUR MORE YEARS! FOUR MORE YEARS! ๐ฃ๏ธ

Chuba has improved by leaps and bounds since he came into the nfl, and I think itโs important that we keep a guy like him. Iโm tired of letting good players walk every single time, and a guy that wants to be here, and can help build the culture we want is massive

Happy for Chuba. Over the last two years, he has proven a lot of people, myself included, wrong. He has become a very good RB and Iโm glad heโs sticking around. pic.twitter.com/TNUdQQNGYJ

On paying Chubaโฆ
You now have two RBs on a volatile offense and instability at QB.
Just do smart things. This is step one.

Chuba Hubbard and Jonathan Brooks can be one of the better RB duos in the NFL over the next 5-6 years dawg
Especially behind this OL and how Canales uses RBs

It’ll always be hilarious that Matt Rhule’s wife texted him 10 minutes before the pick and said “please take Chuba Hubbard” pic.twitter.com/pHwPIZX10n
