Dobbins as a potential player to replace Chubb in the offense.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cHow about Dobbins signing with the Browns to replace Nick Chubb as Cleveland\u2019s new lead runner? The offense fits his traits well with both gap and zone schemes. And Dobbins looked explosive on the tape throughout last season, though he missed four games because of a knee sprain. He finished 2024 with 907 rushing yards and seven touchdowns,\u201d Bowen\u00a0said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Bowen mentioned the fact that Dobbins was an explosive player last year, and even though he missed four games, he still had over 900 rushing yards and seven touchdowns.<\/p>\n<p>This could be a player the Browns could consider, especially since he\u2019ll be less expensive than some of the other free agent backs that don\u2019t have the injury history and risk for re-injury.<\/p>\n<p>The Browns need some major changes, and shaking up the backfield is certainly a way for them to do that.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 Nick Chubb has been a staple of the Cleveland Browns&#8217; lineup for several years when he&#8217;s healthy.
