The Cleveland Browns knew they won big with Nick Chubb. He’s been one of the most reliable offensive weapons ever since he was selected with the 35th overall in the 2018 Draft.
However, his season-ending injury in 2023 threw a wrench into their beautiful partnership. The contract extension that was once considered more of a formality has begun to look like a risky venture for the Browns, and this has placed plenty of question marks on Chubb’s future.
As his long-term future at the team is in question, the Browns have reached out in the hopes of finding an agreeable settlement that will satisfy all parties involved.
Cleveland Browns look to meet Nick Chubb early to iron out contract details
Heavy’s J.R. DeGroote wrote about the most recent update provided by Browns insider Mary Kay Cabot. She writes that while the team is not certain about giving the Georgia product the max, they still want him to play for them.
Cabot provided further context, which DeGroote noted in his piece:
“The Browns will meet with Chubb’s agents, possibly as soon as the NFL combine in Indianapolis next week, and discuss parameters for a restructuring — and possible extension — that will enable Chubb to make most or all of the money he’s due this season via incentives and bonuses,” Cabot wrote on February 22. “Chubb, still months away from being able to practice full-go, is in a position to negotiate with the Browns and probably accept an incentive-laden deal that both protects the club and rewards him for performance.”
Cabot anticipates the Browns coming up with a “creative” solution to the problem that both Chubb and the team can feel good about. She also made it clear that the Browns have no plans to part ways with Chubb.
Nick Chubb is a four-time Pro Bowler, and teams struggle to find ways to contain him. His last full season saw him put up an impressive stat sheet: 1525 yards, 12 rushing TDs, 50% rush success rate, and 5.0 yards per carry.
It’s hard to figure out if Nick Chubb would be willing to take less money or be shipped off elsewhere for draft capital for another capable running back. However, the fact that they’re meeting next week is a sign that they want to make it work and are finding an amicable solution to the situation.
