There is no denying that Christian McCaffrey was deserving of a long extension from the Carolina Panthers following an exceptional start to his NFL career. The do-it-all running back is now officially the face of the franchise and will now be paid as such.
McCaffrey signed a four-year, $64 million deal that included a $21 million signing bonus and just over $38 million guaranteed. This ties the player to the Carolina Panthers until 2025 and was a huge statement of intent from the organization and their ambitious plans for the future.
