The Cleveland Browns are taking a bold approach to their quarterback situation for the 2025 NFL season, drafting Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel while bringing in veterans Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett. In stark contrast, they are allowing Nick Chubb, a former All-Pro running back, to remain on the free agent market after drafting Quinshon Judkins. With two injury-plagued seasons behind him, including a year lost to a torn ACL and MCL, Chubb's future with the Browns looks bleak.

Given his history and age, Chubb's free agency is quiet, but potential suitors are emerging. The Chicago Bears, needing a versatile running back to complement D'Andre Swift, could be a fit. The Denver Broncos, led by Sean Payton, might also seek Chubb's experience for a young quarterback. Additionally, the Kansas City Chiefs could view him as a valuable asset for their Super Bowl aspirations.
