season, McCaffrey raised his own bar for NFL running backs. His
previous deal averaged $16 million per year.
Alvin Kamara of the New Orleans Saints ranks second at the

The extension also keeps McCaffrey under contract with the 49ers
through 2027.
McCaffrey, who turns 28 on Friday, also led the NFL with 2,023
yards from scrimmage and in 16 starts shared the league lead
with 21 rushing/receiving touchdowns, along with Miami's Raheem
Mostert.
A three-time Pro Bowl selection and two-time first-team All-Pro,
McCaffrey has rushed for 6,185 yards and 52 touchdowns. He also
has 509 receptions for 4,320 yards and 29 scores in 91 games (84
starts) with the Carolina Panthers (2017-22) and 49ers

McCaffrey was the eighth overall pick in 2017 by Carolina, who
traded him to San Francisco on Oct. 20, 2022 for a package of
draft picks.
