The Cleveland Browns and running back did what it took to make sure the two sides stayed together in 2024.
This meant restructuring his contract down to a base of just $2.28 million. His cap hit is just $6.275 million in 2024 when factoring in the signing bonus that has been prorated from his original contract extension, but this is far less than the $15.85 million that Chubb was set to make before restructuring his deal.
But!
Chubb has the chance to earn back a great deal of money in on-field incentives should he return from his injury at full force. Thanks to Jack Duffin of The OBR, we also know what those incentive landmarks are now.
As it sits right now, however, Chubb is set at a base of just $2.28 million. Here are the 27 running backs set to make more than that:
