Browns Predicted to Reunite With Nick Chubb, Despite RB's Deal With Texans originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Cleveland Browns chose not to bring four-time Pro Bowl running back Nick Chubb back this offseason, instead allowing him join the AFC rival Houston Texans in free agency.

Former Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb bid an emotional farewell to the franchise and city where he spent the first seven years of his NFL career. Chubb, who signed a one-year deal with the Houston Texans last week, thanked the franchise that drafted him and the community he came to call home.

Chubb, who inked a one-year deal worth $2.5 million earlier this week, will likely serve as the secondary runner behind Mixon to begin his career. Mixon is expected to be fully healthy by the time the season rolls around, but he missed three games during the 2024 regular season, meaning Chubb could see significant reps.
