Overview

• Chubb’s contract carries a $2.5 million base and performance incentives that could raise its value to $5 million after he passed his physical June 9
• Houston’s running back depth chart now lists Joe Mixon as the lead back followed by Nick Chubb, Dameon Pierce, Woody Marks and Dare Ogunbowale
• Cleveland opted not to re-sign Chubb after drafting multiple running backs in 2025 and projecting limited playing time behind its rookies
• Chubb has appeared in just 10 games over the past two seasons due to a torn MCL and ACL in 2023 and a broken foot in 2024
• Houston expects Chubb to provide a powerful short-yardage threat alongside Mixon and bolster overall backfield depth
