Nick Chubb will remain with the only NFL team he has ever known as he recovers from multiple knee surgeries, but he will do so on an altered contract.
The Cleveland Browns and the veteran running back agreed to a reworked contract on Thursday that will see his base salary of $11.775 million in 2024 get lowered, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Rapoport added that Chubb will have a chance to earn that money back in the form of incentives.
Per OverTheCap.com, the Browns had just $3.9 million in salary cap space for 2024 before reportedly addressing Chubb's contract, which was the sixth-lowest amount of cap space in the NFL.
