Veteran RB Nick Chubb Retiring From NFL

Chubb, 30, was drafted by the Browns in the second round out of Georgia in 2018. He was entering the final year of a four-year, $7,383,094 contract when Cleveland signed him to a three-year, $36 million extension back in 2021. 

The Browns restructured Chubb’s contract last April, lowering his cap hit in 2024 from $15.85 million to $6.275 million. He played out the rest of that deal and was testing the open market for the first time in his career in 2025 when he signed a one-year deal with the Texans.

In 2025, Chubb appeared in 15 games for the Texans and rushed for 506 yards on 122 carries (4.1 YPC) to go along with three touchdowns.
