Could he cleveland browns Trade running back Nick Chubb?

The idea seems unthinkable given how much Chubb means to the Browns fan base, but realistically speaking, it’s not out of the realm of possibility.

Chubb will turn 29 in December and is in the final year of his contract, and with Cleveland potentially headed toward a rebuild, moving Chubb is something the club may need to seriously consider.

Zac Jackson of The Athletic offered his opinion on the topic as the Nov. 5 NFL trade deadline approaches, and while he doesn’t think the Browns will part with the four-time Pro Bowler, he’s not ruling it out entirely.

“But if the right offer came, the team would have to think about it,” Jackson said. “…In an ideal world, they could include Chubb as an important part of a good offense as long as he wants to play. Here in the real world, the team has to think about the future of the running back position and the status of many of their most experienced players.

Chubb returned to action in Week 7 after being sidelined for more than a year due to a devastating knee injury he suffered last September. He has carried the ball 27 times for 74 yards and a touchdown in his first two games.

While the University of Georgia product was undoubtedly one of the best running backs in football before his injury, it remains to be seen if he will ever be the same.

If another team comes along and makes Cleveland a substantial offer for Chubb, it will certainly be interesting to see if general manager Andrew Berry pulls the trigger.
