In an era where NFL teams are constantly regretting the decision to give running backs big-money deals, the Carolina Panthers have put the notion to bed in their eyes and backed up the Brinks truck for their own back, Christian McCaffrey. On Monday, McCaffrey signed a four-year contract extension which made him the highest-paid running back in NFL history only three years after joining the league. For McCaffrey, it was a deal he has earned thanks to dominating performances in each of the last three years and his ability to impact both the running and passing offenses.
