Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb had a terrible season-ending knee injury in Week 2 of the 2023 season, tearing his MCL and ACL, casting doubt on his future with the franchise. With the 2024 NFL offseason started, Cleveland appears to have made a decision on his future.
The Browns’ cap situation this summer is unfavorable due to the Deshaun Watson contract. Currently, Cleveland is about 420 million over the projected 2024 NFL salary ceiling, and they must make room to sign their 2024 draft class and bring back key players.
With Chubb entering his age-28 season, there were doubts about his long-term performance. During his college career with the Georgia Bulldogs, he tore his MCL, PCL, LCL, and had his knee dislocated. The Pro Bowl running back, who is now recovering from an ACL rupture, was considered a potential cap casualty in 2024.
In previewing Cleveland’s probable offseason moves, ESPN’s NFL expert Jeremy Fowler mentioned that Chubb’s deal may be reworked or extended. He made it obvious, however, that the Browns want Chubb back for the 2024 season.
Will the Browns modify or extend running back Nick Chubb’s contract, which includes a $15.8 million salary in 2024, following a serious knee injury? Possibly. They are on record as wanting to keep him.
