Amid the controversy surrounding the running back market in recent weeks, Browns star Nick Chubb weighed in on the situation and offered his own insight on why he thinks players at his position aren’t getting paid what they’re worth.
“They say we get hit every play and we’re more injury prone and we’re all on the field doing the same thing,” Chubb told reporters Sunday. “But only that applies to us. If we’re taking the most risk doing the most, then we should be valued more.”
Chubb also confirmed he was on a Zoom on Saturday with other elite running backs in the NFL and they discussed what’s best to do regarding their position going forward when it comes to getting paid what they’re worth. The tailbacks began to organize the call once it became apparent that Raiders running back Josh Jacobs and Giants running back Saquon Barkley weren’t getting the extensions they wanted.
