Carolina Panthers: Skip Bayless calls McCaffrey extension ‘a bad idea’

Christian McCaffrey’s bumper four-year extension with the Carolina Panthers seems to have divided experts on whether the player should have been given such a big financial commitment.

The All-Pro is tied to the Panthers until 2025 following his extension, which is set to earn him an annual average salary of $16 million per season. It also makes him the highest-paid running back in NFL history.

FOX Sports analyst Skip Bayless had high praise for McCaffrey on Undisputed with Shannon Sharpe this morning. But he had reservations on whether the dual-threat back was worth the money.
