Ron Rivera has signed a three-year, $19.5 million contract extension with the Carolina Panthers after leading them to the Super Bowl last season.

Rivera is now under contract through the 2018 season.

According to a report, the remainder of the Carolina coaching staff receives raises as well.

"It was an easy decision," Dave Gettleman said. "Ron has worked extremely hard and we are thrilled with our current direction. Mr. Richardson has established a great culture here and Ron is a big part of that."
