The Cleveland Browns helped build an offensive core with two picks near the top of the 2018 NFL Draft. It started with the quarterback in Baker Mayfield. They also used an early second-round pick to find their runner of the future in Nick Chubb.
But now it’s time to pay up. Chubb, as a non-first-round pick, is entering the final year of his rookie contract, and it is ordinarily at this point that players of his caliber would receive a contract extension. While the team has expressed a desire to get things done, until pen touches paper inking a signature onto a contract, it’s an open discussion.
