The Cleveland Browns took two working backs within the 2025 NFL Draft, these being Ohio State‘s Quinshon Judkins (decide No. 36) and Tennessee‘s Dylan Sampson (decide No. 126), and have soon-to-be fourth-year again Jerome Ford. Are veteran working again Nick Chubb’s days with the Browns over?
“I would not rule something out, however I’d say that it is most likely more and more unlikely,” Browns general manager Andrew Berry said about re-signing Chubb, who stays a free agent, in an interview with 92.3 The Fan on Friday morning. “We do have two younger guys that we appreciated. We expect Jerome performs a job. It is mainly type of perhaps seeing how the roles shake out within the working again room.
“You are by no means going to rule out somebody as close to and expensive to our coronary heart as Nick, and I’d count on him to take one other step [with Chubb] being a 12 months faraway from the knee harm. However I would say a return is much less seemingly, a minimum of within the quick time period, with us proper now.”
Head coach Kevin Stefanski mentioned that he may “echo” what Berry mentioned about Chubb.
Cleveland chosen Chubb with the No. 35 decide within the 2018 NFL Draft out of Georgia, and he went on to be an integral factor of its offense for a half-decade. After speeding for 996 yards and eight touchdowns on 5.2 yards per carry in his 2018 rookie marketing campaign, Chubb proceeded to hurry for 1,000-plus yards in 4 consecutive seasons (2019-22) and publish double-digit speeding touchdowns in two seasons (2020 and 2022). In every of these 4 seasons, Chubb earned a Professional Bowl nod and earned 2022 second group All-Professional honors.
Two video games into the 2023 season, Chubb suffered a season-ending knee harm, which saved him off the sphere till Week 7 of the 2024 season. Throughout the eight video games that he appeared in final season, Chubb rushed for 332 yards and three touchdowns on 3.3 yards per carry.
Over 85 regular-season video games, Chubb is third in Browns historical past with each 6,843 profession speeding yards and 51 profession speeding touchdowns.
As for who Cleveland’s working backs will obtain handoffs from, the franchise has a rowdy quarterback room in the mean time with veteran Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett — who was a 2022 first-round draft decide of the Pittsburgh Steelers — and rookies Dillon Gabriel (decide No. 94) and Shedeur Sanders (decide No. 144) all current. The Browns, after all, traded again three spots with the Jacksonville Jaguars and took Michigan defensive lineman Mason Graham with the No. 5 decide within the draft, amongst different picks.
