Nick Chubb is going home to Cleveland one last time. The four-time Pro Bowl running back will return to the Browns to sign a one-day contract and retire as a member of the franchise he starred for, a fitting exit for one of the most productive backs in team history.
Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter): Nick Chubb is returning to Cleveland to sign a one-day contract and retire as a Brown.
Chubb, 30, spent his entire career in Cleveland after the Browns drafted him in the second round of the 2018 draft out of Georgia. He leaves ranks among the franchise's all-time greats, having earned four Pro Bowl selections and crossed the 1,000-yard rushing mark four times in his first five seasons before a devastating knee injury in 2023 curtailed his prime.
He will be honored during the Browns' home opener against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, and the team will give him his formal sendoff after he signs the one-day deal Friday. Ares' NFL desk surfaced his retirement via the wires, with Adam Schefter first reporting the plan.
