Nick Chubb passes physical, signs one-year, $2.5 million contract with Texans
Veteran running back Nick Chubb officially has his new home in Houston. Chubb passed his physical and signed a one-year, $2.5 million contract with the Texans, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Advertisement The deal gives Chubb the opportunity to earn another $2.5 million if he hits certain incentives. A 2018 second-round pick of the Browns, Chubb has played his entire career in Cleveland and was named to four consecutive Pro Bowls from 2019 to 2022. His career average of 5.1 yards per carry is among the best in NFL history. But in 2023 he suffered a severe knee injury in the second game of the season, he wasn't cleared to return until midway through the 2024 season, and wasn't the same player once he got back on the field. That's why it took him so long to sign, and why he had to sign a one-year prove-it deal. In Houston, Chubb joins a backfield that also includes starter Joe Mixon along with Dameon Pierce and rookie Woody Marks.

Cleveland Browns QB Shedeur Sanders Dominating 'Imaginary Football' in June
Cleveland Browns QB Shedeur Sanders Dominating 'Imaginary Football' in June originally appeared on Athlon Sports. As the calendar flipped to June exactly one week ago, there are many in and around the Cleveland Browns who have already crowned fifth-round draft pick Shedeur Sanders as the starter in Week 1. Advertisement There's just one problem. ... He doesn't appear ready, yet. While Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett and fellow rookie draft pick, Dillon Gabriel, stockpile OTA reps with the first teamers, Sanders is playing with everyone else. That would indicate his current place on the depth chart is fourth out of four. Jason McIntyre, co-host of The Herd with Colin Cowherd is trying to bring some reality to the situation and spoke up on Thursday, even as Colin was on vacation. "And the Shedeur Sanders drama continues. Folks, listen. You never want to overreact to ... can we call it imaginary football in June? They're not playing with real effort. It's basic stuff. And the division that we're seeing is massive. What you see people saying about Sanders, you would think he's ready to start Week 1. You see former NFL quarterbacks on social media breaking down every pass. ... You see Colin Cowherd, who's not even on this continent, but is checking in on Shedeur Sanders' OTAs. Despite all the hype for Shedeur, he's the only quarterback on the Browns who wasn't playing with the [first team]," McIntyre said. Advertisement "You guys need to go do some more homework before you crowns Shedeur Sanders. ... The guy's got 'Be Legendary' as his motto. He's throwing really lavish NFL Draft parties. And he's fourth on the depth chart, decidedly." None of this bodes well for Sanders as the starting quarterback in Week 1, or at anytime this season for the Browns. Coach Kevin Stefanski is known as somewhat of a quarterback whisperer. If he can't find a spot for Sanders in the top three positions in the quarterback room, no one can.

Browns, Joe Milton III Paired in Wacky Trade Proposal
Browns, Joe Milton III Paired in Wacky Trade Proposal originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Cleveland Browns have had enough conversations about the quarterback position for one offseason. Between signing Joe Flacco, trading for Kenny Pickett, and drafting two rookies, Cleveland has added more volume than talent to the quarterback room. The Browns left the 2024 season with the conference's worst quarterback play and will enter 2025 in a similar spot. Advertisement The best path forward is unclear, but it is likely to reveal itself in the coming months. Flacco, with over a decade of starting experience, makes sense as the frontrunner. Dillon Gabriel, the first of two quarterbacks drafted by the Browns, may have the backing of the coaching staff. Shedeur Sanders, who's more talented but slipped due to pre-draft concerns, could make the case for playing time, too. The answer to Cleveland's long-term quarterback issue might not be on the roster, but it is abundantly clear that there is little use in adding another passer to this mess. Yet, the Browns were paired with freakish quarterback Joe Milton III in a wacky trade proposal that sent Sanders to the Dallas Cowboys. The proposal coincided with speculation about acquiring Anthony Richardson as he stumbled his way into his third season with the Indianapolis Colts. 'But rather than take on the remaining two years of Richardson's four-year, $34 million contract, for a player who has played just 15 games in two seasons, winning eight, it may make more sense to flip Sanders for the high-upside Milton whose contract pays him just $3.2 million over the next three years,' Jonathan Vankin wrote. Advertisement 'Or — make another trade with Sanders and give up a Day Three draft asset for Milton.' Simply put, adding another unproven starter to the gaggle Cleveland has amassed already doesn't solve the issue. Milton spent his college career as a non-prospect, flashed just enough to be a sixth-round pick, and played meaningful snaps in a single game against the Buffalo Bills' B-Team. He'd be the most-talented passer in the room, sure, but if the Browns were looking for an unpolished gunslinger, they could have drafted one. Instead, they passed on the opportunity to trade for Milton and took two passers with more valuable picks. For better or worse, Cleveland is set to sleep in the bed it made earlier in the offseason. Further, there's little evidence to suggest that the Cowboys want to deal Milton. If his mobility creates a path for him to see sporadic time in a one-off package, he'd be a priority over Sanders. Dallas passed on Sanders – and the attention he'd bring – three times. Advertisement The Browns aren't in a position to waste draft capital on another backup-level quarterback, and the Cowboys can't afford to go into the season with a backup they don't trust. As uninspiring as it may be, Cleveland's quarterback room is probably set.
