What news? I see a tweet with a mischaracterization/simplification of someone outside the team's opinion. Was there something other than the Mikey McNuggets tweet I missed? I did see some talking heads saying something in passing, but I think it's someone's speculation that keeps growing further from the original opinion like a bad game of Telephone.

I thought they said they were going to let him find his value in FA, and then sign him.

They are in penny-pinching mode, sure, but they don't know what his market value is... so they will let the market tell them.

Almost

Let him find his value, THEN decide if they want to sign him?

I just think you should ask yourself why after well over 24 hours later nobody else in the media has confirmed her report with any reliable source. Everything you posted was predicated solely on what MKC said.

That's fine. I was just offering a word of caution and why.

Trending towards potential divorce. MKC's initial report said "probably." Yet, others are acting like Chubb leaving is a done deal. Would you feel better if we lowballed Chubb? Let him see what he's worth and go from there. Nothing's decided yet. Berry and Stefanski love Chubb.

That's the last thing I remember hearing/reading.

I'm ok with that.

I'm pretty sure we all love Chubb and want him to remain here. Hope he's well enough to play and lands right here at home.

Chubb had posted this to his IG account shortly after the news came out that the Browns were letting him hit free agency. He knows the Browns aren’t bringing him back.

What if someone else will give him guarantees? Offering incentives sounds great. Actually structuring them is a bit more complex. Do you really want to give him the carries to meet marks in line with his previous play? How many carries do you want to take off his plate with rookies? How much of old Nick Chubb is there? Is writing an incentive you don't plan on him meeting fair to Nick? Let him see what's out there. If someone out there is willing to pay Chubb more than you think he's worth, you wish him the best, thank him for his time here, and let him know he'll always be welcome back.

What's best for the team and what's best for Nick possibly don't align. Everyone would love to have him back. The business is the business, though. Is signing Nick for less than he's worth fair to Nick? How much less? How much are you willing to pay him for being Nick on top of his expected play? How do you project the play?

Or he's just saying he's bloodied, but not broken and wants his fans to know he's still Batman.

Hard to know what he means by a picture.

Spoken like a true politician! Haha.

4 score and ... oops wrong forum


Just the facts

... or he's just simply not getting the cornerstone-of-the-franchise treatment because Browns have doubt he can fully come back.

I thought that was the plan all along. See what his market value was and act accordingly with an offer comparable with the market. I know plans change and it could be the Browns are ready to move on but I think that falls in lne with what they have said all along

Yep, Chubb's always been that "me guy" wanting that special treatment.

He probably just jabbed himself with that Monte Blanc fountain pen on his way to work out a new deal and posted a bloodied Batman!

In his Athletic article, he wrote about how the Browns had his back the whole way during his recovery and had told him they were committed to him. I don't think he's being a diva or anything, but just that he's using people doubting him as fuel.
