The Cleveland Browns have signed running back Nick Chubb to a ceremonial one-day contract, allowing him to officially retire as a member of the organization on Friday. Chubb, a second-round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, announced his retirement from the NFL after eight seasons, according to Tom Pelissero of Netflix. The move ensures that one of the most beloved players of the Browns’ post-1999 era will end his career where it began.
Over seven seasons with the Browns, Chubb established himself as one of the NFL’s premier running backs and one of the best runners ever to wear a Browns uniform. From 2019 to 2022, he rushed for over 1,000 yards in four consecutive seasons, earning a Pro Bowl nod in each of those campaigns and a spot on the All-Pro Second Team in 2019. His consistent excellence and hard-nosed running style made him a fan favorite and a cornerstone of Cleveland’s offense.
Chubb’s impact went beyond statistics. He was a leader in the locker room and a respected figure throughout the league. His retirement marks the end of an era for the Browns, who will now look to fill the void left by one of their most productive and popular players. As Chubb hangs up his cleats, he leaves behind a legacy of toughness, professionalism, and elite performance that will be remembered by Browns fans for years to come.
