According to NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport, the Browns and Chubb have agreed to a reworked contract to lower his base salary of $11.775 million. 

However, sources reportedly told Rapoport that there is a chance for Chubb to earn the money back in incentives. 

Chubb was sidelined for the 2023 season after suffering a knee injury in the team’s Week 2 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Chubb has since undergone two surgeries to repair his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and his medial capsule, meniscus and medial collateral ligament (MCL). 

During six seasons with the Browns, Chubb has recorded 6,511 rushing yards and 48 rushing touchdowns.
