Nick Chubb will sign a one-day contract to retire officially as a Cleveland Brown. The announcement came through Camryn Justice, who cited JW Johnson, Managing Partner and Executive Vice President of Haslam Sports Group, confirming Chubb’s return to the Browns on September 25, 2026.
Chubb, who retired earlier this year in August, shared his decision on social media with a heartfelt message. He wrote, "Today's the day I've been avoiding for a while. Twelve year old me could never imagine this day, and 30 year old me is wondering where all the time has gone. I've known for some time now, but I'm finally ready to share that I'm done playing football. . .Till the day I die, it will always be: GO DAWGS. GO BROWNS!!!"
The one-day contract allows Chubb to retire with the team that drafted him, a gesture that carries significance given his strong ties to the franchise and its fans. The Browns confirmed the arrangement ahead of his formal retirement ceremony.
Chubb’s tenure with Cleveland was notable for his contributions as a running back, where he became a central figure in the team’s offense. His decision to retire sparked reflections on his career and the impact he had with the Browns.
The upcoming signing event will be Chubb’s official farewell to the NFL, marking the end of his professional playing days while cementing his legacy within the Browns organization. The move echoes a common practice in the league, where players return to their original teams to conclude their careers symbolically.
This development was first reported by Browns Wire and has since been shared by official Browns representatives and related media outlets. The ceremony is scheduled for the day following the announcement, with more details expected as the event approaches.
