Analyst Blasts Browns For Letting Nick Chubb Leave
ย
The Cleveland Browns have officially parted ways with Nick Chubb.
They never attempted to keep him around this offseason, but there was still some sort of hope that he could find his way back to Northeast Ohio.
But now that heโs reportedly set to sign a one-year deal with the Houston Texans, thatโs no longer going to be the case.
Notably, thatโs why NFL analyst Earl โDa Pearlโ Mauldin took to X to put the Browns on blast over this decision:
โI feel like Nick Chubb should be the exception to the rule. I also know thatโs emotional and the NFL is a business. IDGAF about that tho. I never in a million years thought I would see Chubb suit up in another teamโs colors. Thatโs BS for real Iโm salty about this one,.โ Mauldin posted on X.

Heโs got a fair point there.
As much as this is a business first and foremost, itโs hard to believe that they couldnโt have a use for a player of Chubbโs caliber.
Even if he didnโt contribute on the field as much, he was still a beloved and respected figure in that locker room.
Chubb had earned the benefit of the doubt, and while expecting him to return to his old form might be nothing but wishful thinking, the Browns couldโve and probably shouldโve given him a chance to do so.
They couldโve signed him to an incentives-based contract to give him a chance to make his money.
The writing was on the wall when the Browns took two running backs, Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson, in the NFL Draft.
Then, when Jerome Ford took a pay cut to stay with the team, it became all the more evident.
Now, it seems like the only chance weโll get to watch Chubb play for the Browns again is through an injury-induced trade or after this season.
