Sad News: Cleveland Browns Coach Makes Shocking Announcement In Press Conference Today…

The Cleveland Browns are heading into a crucial offseason, and forward Nick Chubb’s future is on the line, with crucial decisions to make.Recent history offers little comfort to Chubb, with the harsh realities of the NFL economy overshadowing his undeniable value to the franchise, both on and off the field.

The market hasn’t been kind to running backs lately.

And Chubb has a number of factors working against him.Chubb suffered a catastrophic knee injury in Week 2 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He underwent both ACL and ACL repairs in two separate surgeries, the latest of which took place in November. Browns general manager Andrew Berry called Chubb’s contract “the elephant in the room” during his end-of-season press conference.

Chubb will count $15.8 million against the cap next season.

However, he no longer has guaranteed money on his deal. If the Browns were to release Chubb, it would only result in $4 million in dead space.

The Browns have a number of options with Chubb, including signing him to an extension to lower his cap hit for next year.

This would come with the hope that Chubb looks like the unstoppable force he was before the injury.

Chubb has all the traits to defy the odds, but ESPN’s Dan Graziano still views the four-time Pro Bowler as a potential cap casualty.“He is 28 years old, coming off a serious season-ending knee injury and is set to make $12 million in non-guaranteed money in the final year of his contract,” Graziano wrote on Tuesday, February 13 .

“Yes, he is a candidate for an extension, but he is also a potential cap casualty. Either way, Chubb could be the latest indicator of the frustrating running back market.
