One of the hot offseason topics for the Cleveland Browns is the long-term fate of running back Nick Chubb. The Pro Bowler is entering the final season of his rookie contract and has established himself as one of the top players at his position in the NFL.
That has led to speculation and conversations about a possible contract extension for Chubb. He was asked about any progress on the contractual front in his press conference at the beginning of this week’s mandatory minicamp.
After refuting any notion that a deal must be done before the regular season begins, Chubb did acknowledge, “It would mean a lot to me (to stay in Cleveland).”
“Cleveland’s where I want to be,” Chubb said in his typically direct tone and economic use of words. “I hope everything can work out in that direction.”
Chubb continued,
“I don’t like uncertainty and I know here in Cleveland what I have with players and coaches, the city of Cleveland. I don’t know how it would be anywhere else, so Cleveland is where I want to be and that’s my main focus.”
