Bears get Nick Chubb free agent announcement from NFL insider image

Nick Chubb has already put together an incredible NFL career.

The long-time Cleveland Browns running back doesn't want to be done, though.

He's sitting in free agency waiting for an opportunity, with it seeming very unlikely that Cleveland would bring him back at this point.

Luckily for Chubb, he has at least two NFC suitors.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler has linked the Washington Commanders and Chicago Bears to Chubb in recent days.

Of the Bears, Fowler said they "come to mind" as a potential landing spot for Chubb.

Chubb certainly has to be happy that there are teams out there thinking about signing him.

For Chicago, it could make at least a little sense. D'Andre Swift declined in effectiveness last season.

The problem is that so did Chubb.

Roschon Johnson might not be the answer, either. It's not clear exactly who Ben Johnson wants to win the job in Chicago.

Chubb is a known veteran who struggled in 2024 coming off an injury and accumulating more injuries. One final healthy season for Chubb could still be a good one.

The Bears don't have a lot to lose at this point. Might be worth taking the chance.
