Cleveland Browns superstar running back Nick Chubb is entering the final year of his contract, so one can’t fully rule out the possibility of a move between now and the 2024 trade deadline.
Nick Chubb suffered a gruesome season-ending knee injury in Week 2 against the Pittsburgh Steelers last year. Fortunately, 2022 fifth-round pick Jerome Ford was up for the challenge and did a fine job replacing the four-time Pro Bowler by recording 1,132 yards of offense and nine total touchdowns.
According to OvertheCap.com, the Browns are projected to be $42.215 million over the salary cap at the start of the 2025 offseason. Chubb will be entering his age 28/29 season, so it’s hard to envision Cleveland offering a long-term deal to a veteran who plays a devaluing position.
So there’s a case to be made that the Browns should trade Nick Chubb and get something in return rather than lose him for nothing. With Ford proving himself as a capable RB1, a Chubb trade should be considered by GM Andrew Berry.

One team that makes perfect sense for Chubb is the Dallas Cowboys, who lost RB1 Tony Pollard to the Tennessee Titans in free agency. Ezekiel Elliott was brought back on a one-year deal, but he’s simply not a starting-caliber RB at this stage of his career.

Dallas is in win-now mode with Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, Zack Martin, Micah Parsons and Trevon Diggs. A top-five RB like Chubb could easily produce nicely behind that elite Dallas o-line for several more years.
What Cowboys Should Offer For Nick Chubb
Since Nick Chubb is approaching his 30s and in the final year of his contract, the Browns can’t expect too much of a return from Dallas. Their purpose in making this move is to clear cap space.
Dallas should offer a conditional 2025 fourth-round pick that can become a third, depending on Chubb’s playing time, and a 2026 fifth-round pick. This is a fair return for a player at a devaluing position, and it opens the door for Cleveland to run with Ford on a bargain rookie contract.

Micah Parsons (Photo by David Eulitt/Getty Images)It’s official: Dallas Cowboys superstar linebacker is a bandwagon NBA fan.
One would think that Micah Parsons is devoted to the NBA’s Philadelphia 76ers or Dallas Mavericks for obvious reasons. The Penn State product is from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and supports both the 76ers and Philadelphia Phillies of Major League Baseball.
But playing in Dallas, one could understand why Parsons might also side with Luka Doncic’s Mavs, who are now just one win away from the franchise’s first NBA Finals appearance since 2011.
Parsons attended the Mavericks’ Game 4 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday night, along with Cowboy teammates Osa Odighizuwa and Trevon Diggs. Unfortunately for the fourth-year linebacker, his decision to show up in a Mavs jersey led to social media detectives exposing him as a bandwagon fan:

We outlined above why Micah Parsons roots for the 76ers and Mavericks, but his apparent Boston Celtics fandom is a mystery. They’re the 76ers’ archrivals and have dispatched Philly from the postseason thrice since 2018.
Well, the good thing about being a bandwagon fan is that you’re never supporting a losing franchise. Parsons’ 76ers were eliminated by the New York Knicks in the opening round, but his Mavericks need just one more victory to set up an NBA Finals clash with his other team, the Celtics.
Micah Parsons Is In Line For Another Monster Year
It is no coincidence that the Cowboys have recorded three straight 12-win seasons in the Parsons era. The ex-Penn State star joined Dallas in 2021 and has single-handedly turned their defense into a consistent top-10 unit.
Parsons has racked up 40.5 sacks, eight pass breakups and seven forced fumbles over his first three seasons. The 2021 Defensive Rookie of the Year is set to go off yet gain as the Cowboys try to bounce back from last year’s stunning Wild Card Round loss to the Green Bay Packers.
