Miles Sanders signing 4-year deal with Panthers
The Carolina Panthers are signing Miles Sanders to a four-year, $25 million contract.
What It Means:
The Panthers let D'Onta Foreman walk in free agency, so Sanders should be the clear favorite over Chuba Hubbard to lead the backfield next season. He's coming off his first 1,000-yard rushing campaign and scored more rushing touchdowns last year (11) than his first three seasons combined (9). The Eagles signed Rashaad Penny to replace Sanders in their backfield.
According to Mike Clay of ESPN, Sanders leads running backs in rushing EPA since he was taken in the second round of the 2019 draft. He's also first in rushing EPA per carry and fifth in yards per carry (5.0) among 38 backs with 400-plus carries in that span.
