Overview

  • General Manager Andrew Berry stated that a reunion with free agent Nick Chubb is 'increasingly unlikely,' emphasizing the team's focus on younger talent.
  • The Browns drafted Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson in the 2025 NFL Draft and renegotiated Jerome Ford's contract to reshape their running back unit.
  • Chubb, a four-time Pro Bowler and third in franchise history with 6,843 rushing yards, has played in only 10 games over the last two seasons due to knee and foot injuries.
  • Berry acknowledged limited communication with Chubb since the draft and noted the challenges of transitioning away from a player beloved by fans and the organization.
  • The Browns' rookie minicamp began Friday, with Judkins and Sampson expected to play significant roles in the team's revamped backfield.
