Only locks him in for 3 more years, but not too expensive and not a lot of risk if he gets hurt.
I like the deal.

Thank you for the thread and link. Quick comparison send to show this contract is a little on the cheap side when you look at it at averaged per year. A bunch of RBs I'd never trade straight up for Chubb cost more.
Maybe he traded a little money for a chance to double-dip?
There is no level of sucking we haven't seen; in fact, I'm pretty sure we hold the patents on a few levels of sucking NOBODY had seen until the past few years.

I hope he finishes his career here, after several more fruitful years of course.

Happy Days are here again... I believed that Berry would get this done.. And I also believe he'll get Ward and Mayfield done as well.

Wow. This is a fairly team friendly deal. Chubb could have easily got more on the open market.

IMO He is the image I want for this club. So happy to see him re-signed. I believe he would play just for fun so for him the money is a bonus.
So happy for Chubb and happy for my Browns, now lets go get that Lombardi, and build this dynasty.

This 100%. Not signing Chubb would mean your mantra is nothing but lip-service. SMART, TOUGH, ACCOUNTABLE... PAID.

First let me say I love the news.
Second, I recently bought a new t-shirt that says "Pay Nick Chubb." I was going to debut the shirt at Tuesday's training camp to which I have tickets. Obviously, the shirt would no longer be appropriate. The shirt now becomes something to wear underneath a jersey or sweatshirt at games.

Wow. This is a fairly team friendly deal. Chubb could have easily got more on the open market. There's a solid chance he could have made more as a FA... but that would be after another season in an uncertain world. I think this is a textbook definition win-win. He nails down his security with a lucrative contract now. He stays with a winning organization that seems perched to become a perennial playoff team. He sees a team willing to reward his hard work that doesn't favor a philosophy that says "chew them up and spit them out"... the approach most of the league takes with RBs. He stays in a situation where, if we continue with a two back philosophy, gives him the best chance to play for a third contract (and still walk without crutches when it's all said and done). And oh yeah, the other side of the coin... the Browns and their fans retain the services of the best pure running back in the NFL. I seriously have to pinch myself at times.

Said Robert Burns, "The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry." This one's easy bro. Draw a thick black mark through "Nick Chubb". Stick about 12" of masking tape underneath his name. Write in "Baker Mayfield" on masking tape. That's the antithesis of that stupid jersey we all had to put up with for so long.

Wow. This is a fairly team friendly deal. Chubb could have easily got more on the open market. Maybe he wants to be here. I think we Battered Dawgs are in the middle of a learning curve where this team is concerned. It's come on fast, but CLE is quickly becoming a very desired destination, for both draftees and free agents. I know, right?

Wow. This is a fairly team friendly deal. Chubb could have easily got more on the open market. Maybe. When you look at the numbers, he falls right in line with all but Kamara and McCaffery. Looking at the names just behind them, which Chubb is a member, it could be argued that those two guys are a bit overpaid. I left off Elliott...call it3. That $12ish mil a year number seems to be the working number for top backs. I question how much more he could have gotten. I like the 3 year deal. It gives the player a chance to gain another big contract and insulates the team from Chubb being hurt. Four years down the road is a long time for a running back making big money. It would be interesting to see how his new contract staggers out compared to those still under contract and then compared to contracts we are looking to extend out. In many cases, the staggering has a big impact on the overall health of the teams cap.

Seems odd but damn it is true.
JJ3, Clowney, Odell, etc.
Inside this team there are guys who really click together.
Chubb/Hunt, Jarvis/Odell, the whole OL.
Clowney seems really happy. You see him and Myles together a lot seemingly have a good time.
Anthony Walker is already a team leader.
Team culture sounds trite but it is a real thing.

I have to slap myself from time to time so I can believe what has happened to this team. Ski has created an environment that is setting this team up for huge success. I am sure there will be some setbacks where it doesn't seem perfect but right now in my view we are easily the best organization in the entire maybe sports world. Ready SET DYNASTY...

Often times teams (and GMs specifically) certainly overpay in the FA market but can do the same with their own players and make them the highest paid player in fear that they may walk if not given that type of contract. That doesn't seem to be the case here. As much as we all love Nick Chubb and what he has done for the team so far, his contract does fall in line, IMO, to where he ranks against other RBs. He is not as a complete back as CMC, Cook, Kamara, Henry, Saquon (although still on rookie deal), and perhaps even a healthy Elliott. If we were planning on giving him an outrageous contract like Zeke's, or a lesser extent CMC, I would have been very concerned.
This seem on par for where Chubb falls in terms of value and its doesn't seem like we overpaid or had the expectation to make Chubb the highest paid RB just because it was his turn to for a new contract. This is a good thing.

i feel like the money is too low, but i also understand that Chubb is already 26. so i get it.
i'm glad he's perfectly happy with the money, however. so it doesn't matter what i think. im glad he's on the squad with Hunt.
one of our receivers goes down with injury, and it won't even matter.
