The NFL offseason chess match is heating up, with one of the league’s premier runners potentially making a move.
GM Andrew Berry confirmed that Nick Chubb is expected to test the free agency waters, though he didn’t completely rule out a return to Cleveland.
Berry kept his options open during his end-of-season press conference, hinting that a potential reunion wasn’t entirely off the table.
Adding fuel to the speculation fire, Chubb recently posted a cryptic Batman reference on social media, sending Browns faithful into a frenzy of interpretation.

Despite establishing himself as one of the NFL’s elite running backs, Chubb’s situation is complicated by several factors.
He’s approaching his 30th birthday—often considered the danger zone for his position—and has endured back-to-back seasons derailed by injuries.
While the Browns may want to retain their star rusher, Chubb might be prioritizing championship opportunities at this stage of his career.
Interestingly, Pittsburgh has emerged as a potential landing spot, creating a nightmare scenario for Cleveland fans.
The thought of Chubb donning the black and gold of their bitter division rival would be salt in an already painful wound.
If Browns fans ultimately watch their beloved running back thrive with their hated rivals, they’ll know exactly where to direct their frustration.
