Star running back Christian McCaffrey is staying with the Panthers long term.
McCaffrey confirmed to ESPN's Adam Schefter that he signed an extension with the Panthers. Schefter reports McCaffrey received a four-year deal worth $64 million, making him the highest-paid RB in NFL history.
"I'm so excited to continue my career in Carolina," McCaffrey said. "I want to thank [owner David] Tepper, [general manager] Marty Hurney, and Coach [Matt] Rhule for the opportunity to help lead this great franchise, and to all my teammates for their help along the way.
