Obviously, his contract is up this year,\u201d\u00a0Berry said. \u201cWe\u2019ll meet with his reps and everything like that.

The Dark Knight, Chubb\u2019s favorite superhero, is bruised, bloodied, and battle-worn, yet still unbroken. Perhaps a message from Chubb that despite his recent injuries, he\u2019s ready to return to form.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Browns RB Nick Chubb Coming Off Down Year<\/h2>\n<p>Chubb is recovering from a broken foot, which ended his season early in December. He appeared in just eight games last season due to injuries. Chubb also missed time at the start of the season recovering from a pair of knee surgeries that kept him out more than a year.<\/p>\n<p>In all, he rushed for 332 yards on 102 carries with three touchdowns last season. Chubb\u2019s 3.3 yards per carry average was, by far, the lowest of his career.<\/p>\n<p>When Chubb was recovering from his knee injury, the Browns were adamant that he\u2019d return and it would be a monumental moment when he made his way back to the field. The team has been more uncertain about Chubb\u2019s return this time around.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s always a challenging situation when one of your cornerstone players, their contract is up. That\u2019s probably maybe a little bit the different situation this year relative to relative to last, where there is maybe perhaps a little bit less control on the club side with it,\u201d\u00a0Berry said in January. \u201cWe love Nick. He\u2019s going to be a Ring of Honor player for us, and we know that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If Chubb is no longer in the picture, Jerome Ford would likely assume the lead-back role for Cleveland. He\u2019s\u00a0rushed for 1,390 yards and seven touchdowns over three seasons in Cleveland.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Browns Have Concerns Beyond Nick Chubb<\/h2>\n<p>Chubb wearing another uniform next season would be a blow for a fan base who loves the four-time Pro Bowler. But frankly, the Browns have larger concerns on the offensive side of the ball, specifically at quarterback.<\/p>\n<p>The 2022 trade for Deshaun Watson has been a disaster for the Browns that they\u2019re still paying for. Watson reinjured his Achilles during recovery and he\u2019s likely to be sidelined for most, if not all, of next season. But even before the injury, Watson struggled mightily and the Browns were likely to go in a different direction at quarterback regardless.<\/p>\n<p>Cleveland holds the No. 2 overall pick, which allows them to draft either Shedeur Sanders or Cam Ward. The two prospects are regarded as the top passers in the draft. The Tennessee Titans have the top pick and also need a quarterback.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Cleveland Browns anticipate Nick Chubb testing free agency, and the Pro Bowl running back appeared to respond to the team&#8217;s latest remarks with a cryptic Instagram post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":15798,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15797","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cleveland-browns"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
