Analyst makes a worrying prediction about Nick Chubb’s future

Nick Chubb has played three games this season since returning from the gruesome knee injury he suffered in Week 2 against the Pittsburgh Steelers last season, and he has yet to build a defense that Cleveland Browns fans are used to seeing from the star running back, but he’s likely still knocking off some rust and working his way back into shape.

Chubb will hit free agency this offseason, and it’s unclear what the future holds for him in Cleveland, but one analyst thinks he knows how this will end.

Zac Jackson by Athletics recently wrote a piece with predictions for the Browns during the rest of the season.

One of his predictions is that Nick Chubb will score a touchdown in his final home game in Cleveland before ultimately leaving for greener pastures in the offseason.

“Maybe in February or March, a reunion will be finalized, but Chubb could end his career on another (and better) team. The Browns already have nearly $40 million in dead money on the books for 2025, and not included in that count are complicated decisions on Watson, Chubb, Wills and Dalvin Tomlinson. That’s enough time to build for the future.”

Paying back big money is a risky proposition in the NFL, but it doesn’t make much sense if the team isn’t a contender.

The Philadelphia Eagles and Baltimore Ravens paid big money last season to sign Saquon Barkley and Derrick Henry.

They were in similar situations to Chubb, heading into their final year with their original franchises, who were clearly seeing their game windows close.

The Browns’ roster is already expensive, and fans should enjoy Chubb while they still have him because it might not make sense for either side to agree to a reunion in the offseason.
