Christian Mccaffrey gets record-breaking extension with panthers

Carolina Panthers running back, and basically the entire team at this point, Christian McCaffrey​ agreed to a four-year, $64 million contract extension with the team, making him the highest-paid running back in the National Football League.

Christian McCaffrey earned that contract extension...

McCaffrey has 303 receptions since entering the NFL in 2017.

Being that he's basically a running back and a wide receiver in one, I'm not sure there's another running back in the entire league that is worth that much money. The problem with paying a back a giant contract is that they're so easily replaceable (see: the Pittsburgh Steelers and their situation with Le'Veon Bell and James Conner). But, McCaffrey is the exception and is well worth the dollars.

Plenty of former teammates and coaches offered their condolences and shared memories on Twitter. Jackson was most recently working as the quarterbacks coach for Tennessee State.

Tarvaris Jackson was my mentor! He played the game with dignity and taught me how to use my MIND □ to manipulate the defense. When my family couldn’t make it to Seattle for holidays, it was TJACK who invited me to his house to celebrate with his family!
