Almost all of that speculation is linked to his contract. The Browns would\u00a0save $11.825 million\u00a0by parting ways with Chubb and have only $4 million in dead cap.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the cap numbers, Browns general manager Andrew Berry has been firm with his message that keeping Chubb around is a priority. He reiterated that while speaking to the media at the NFL Combine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI understand that Nick is a popular discussion point,\u201d\u00a0Berry said on February 27. \u201cI meant what I said about him at the end of the season, any conversations that we have with him or his reps honestly will stay between us. If anything were to change with the status, you guys will be the first to know when that does happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Berry is referring to his\u00a0comments from January\u00a0where he threw his support behind Nick Chubb publicly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can say for myself, no one in the organization, I understand, our family, nobody wants to see that carry in Pittsburgh, be the last time he carries the ball for the Cleveland Browns,\u201d Berry said. \u201cAnd obviously there are things that we\u2019ll have to work through, but that would not be our intention as well. We obviously will work to keep him on the team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chubb\u2019s representatives and the Browns could have some\u00a0conversations at the combine on a new deal.<\/p>\n<h2>Browns Not Ready to Give Health Update on Nick Chubb<\/h2>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-inline wp-image-4857816 visible aligncenter\" style=\"font-size: 16px\" src=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/GettyImages-1626032124-11-e1709118807821.jpg?quality=65&amp;strip=all&amp;w=782\" alt=\"The Browns are still in wait-and-see mode with Nick Chubb's injury.\" width=\"782\" height=\"440\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4857816\" data-lazy-load=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/GettyImages-1626032124-11-e1709118807821.jpg?quality=65&amp;strip=all&amp;w=782\" \/><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_4857816\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n<p>Chubb suffered a catastrophic\u00a0knee injury\u00a0in Week 2 against the\u00a0Pittsburgh Steelers. He had both his ACL and MCL repaired during\u00a0two separate surgeries, the latest of those procedures coming in November. He\u2019s expected back at some point next season but an exact timeline for a return is uncertain.<\/p>\n<p>Berry did not have a clear update on Chubb\u2019s health at the combine. However, he assured Chubb is working his hardest to\u00a0get back as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s done a great job. You guys know Nick. He works his tail off. He does everything in his power to make sure that he can recover as quickly as possible,\u201d Berry said. \u201cIt still is very early and we\u2019re what, six months away from training camp. So to say anything more definitively than I did in the middle of January, it would probably be inaccurate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Through six seasons Chubb has\u00a0rushed for 6,511 yards and 48 touchdowns. His career 5.3 yards per carry is among the league\u2019s elite.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Browns QB Deshaun Watson Expected to Start Throwing Soon<\/h2>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-inline wp-image-4857814 visible aligncenter\" style=\"font-size: 16px\" src=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/GettyImages-1449905271-2-e1709118701898.jpg?quality=65&amp;strip=all&amp;w=782\" alt=\"The Browns expect Deshaun Watson to start throwing in March.\" width=\"782\" height=\"440\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4857814\" data-lazy-load=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/GettyImages-1449905271-2-e1709118701898.jpg?quality=65&amp;strip=all&amp;w=782\" \/><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_4857814\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n<p>The other big offseason talking point for the Browns has been\u00a0Deshaun Watson. The Cleveland QB played in just six games last season and is recovering from season-ending shoulder surgery. He\u2019s poised to take his next step in his rehab in March.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDeshaun will begin throwing next month. He\u2019s worked his tail off in terms of his rehab and recovery. He\u2019s in a really good place,\u201d Berry said. \u201cWe\u2019re excited when the spring hits and we can get him back on the field, but he\u2019s making really good progress and we\u2019re really excited to see that continue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Watson has\u00a0passed for 2,217 yards, 14 touchdowns and 9 interceptions with the Browns. The hope in Cleveland is that Watson and the rest of the offense can stay healthy. The Brown finished 11-6 despite missing key players like Chubb, Watson and\u00a0multiple players\u00a0on the offensive line.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_6_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-content adthrive-content-6 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"CP21yLKbzoQDFeBRwgUduZAKEg\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The\u00a0Cleveland Browns\u00a0are still trying to figure out the best path forward with running back\u00a0Nick Chubb.
