Nick Chubb News
The Cleveland Browns want to keep running back Nick Chubb (knee) around, but he's also recovering from two surgeries on his injured knee this offseason and is due to carry a salary cap charge of just under $16 million in 2024, the final year of his contract and his age-28 season. The Browns would take on around $4 million in dead money if they were to cut Chubb. The Athletic's Zac Jackson points out that Chubb's contract was structured long before his injury. When healthy, Chubb has been one of the league's best RBs, but the Browns also need to account for every penny on their salary cap now and into the foreseeable future. Chubb will mostly likely be back in 2024, but he'll be a risk/reward fantasy selection coming off a gruesome knee injury early last year.
Cleveland Browns general manager Andrew Berry said the intention is to bring running back Nick Chubb (knee) back for the 2024 season despite his contract situation and serious knee injury. The Browns have an out in Chubb's contract this offseason for only a $4 million dead salary cap hit, and he would carry a $15.8 million cap hit for 2024. If the two sides are intent on running it back, it's likely they'll come to an agreement on a contract restructure for next season. The 28-year-old suffered a torn left ACL early in the 2023 campaign but is no longer using crutches and could be ready to go for the start of the 2024 regular season, barring any setbacks this offseason. If Chubb is ready to go for the start of next season, he'll be a bit more risky as an RB1 in fantasy coming off his serious knee injury.
Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb (knee) was spotted walking around without crutches or a brace on his surgically repaired left knee before Week 15's 20-17 home win over the Chicago Bears. It's an encouraging sign for Chubb, who underwent surgery in mid-September to repair the meniscus and MCL in his left knee after going down with an ugly injury in Week 2. Chubb had another procedure done in mid-November to repair a torn ACL, which was recommended by doctors. There remains no update in terms of a concrete timetable on the 27-year-old's return to the field, however, and this development doesn't affect Chubb's standing in 2023 redraft fantasy leagues. Cleveland announced on Nov. 14 that they expect Chubb to return at some point during the 2024 season, but a lengthy rehab may not allow the four-time Pro Bowler to be ready health-wise when it comes time for Week 1 next fall.
