  • The Browns added two rookie running backs, Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson, in the 2025 NFL Draft to reshape their running back corps.
  • Jerome Ford agreed to a 50% pay cut to remain with the team, further solidifying his role in the running back rotation.
  • Chubb, a four-time Pro Bowler and third in franchise history for rushing yards, remains a free agent following two injury-plagued seasons.
  • Berry acknowledged limited communication with Chubb's representatives post-draft, signaling a shift in focus to younger talent.
