The Cleveland Browns and fourth-year running back Nick Chubb were able to work out a modest three-year, $36.6 million extension over the weekend, tying him to the organization through the 2024 season, and helping them preserve perhaps the best running game in the NFL around quarterback Baker Mayfield.
A 2018 second-round pick, Chubb has been an impact player since he was drafted, even if he had to wait a bit to get into the starting lineup. He came up just four yards shy of 1,000 yards as a rookie despite only starting nine games. A year later, he would come up just short of 1,500 yards en route to his first Pro Bowl.
