Speculation Surrounding NFL Indicates Cleveland Browns Could Trade Four-Time Pro Bowl RB Nick Chubb
As the Cleveland Browns grapple with their salary cap problems, rumors are swirling that star running back Nick Chubb may be traded in a salary-dumping move. With the Browns approximately $13 million over the cap, they have only a little over a week to resolve this issue before the March 15 deadline. In addition to trying to work around Deshaun Watson's massive contract, the Browns are reportedly considering trading Chubb to help address their financial situation.
Around The NFL's Marc Sessler suggests that the word around the league is that the Browns may be willing to part ways with Chubb. This move would be a significant blow to the Browns since Chubb has been their most reliable offensive player in recent years, and he is coming off a career-best season with 1,525 rushing yards and 12 rushing touchdowns.
However, keeping Chubb would represent a substantial $14.85 million cap hit for the upcoming season, making it difficult for the Browns to manage their finances. While trading Chubb would help them address their cap situation, it remains to be seen whether this move would ultimately benefit the team, as trading away their best player solely for financial reasons is a risky strategy.
