The Cleveland Browns officially announced the reported three-year, $36.6 million contract extension that locks up star running back Nick Chubb through the 2025 season.
In announcing the extension, which includes $20 million in guaranteed money, Browns general manager Andrew Berry showered Chubb with significant praise.
“From the day Nick Chubb first entered our facilities, it was clear to see that he would become a pillar of our organization,” Berry said via press release. “Although Nick may be a man of few words whose strong-and-silent demeanor can be easy to overlook from the outside, his actions over the past three years have reverberated within the walls of our building.”
Berry continued,
“Nick’s on-field contributions stand for themselves. He is a dynamic runner who is on pace to be one of the most accomplished players to ever don an orange helmet at the position. But it’s his work ethic, intelligence, toughness and selflessness that makes us proud that he represents our city. Quite plainly, Nick embodies the soul of our team and we are thrilled that he will be a Cleveland Brown for years to come.”
