Mandatory Credit: Ken Blaze-Imagn Images Nick Chubb officially has a new home as the Houston Texans announced the signing of the free agent running back on Tuesday.
According to The Athletic, Chubb agreed to a one-year deal with Houston worth at least $2.5 million and up to $5 million.
While Chubb, 29, could have landed a more lucrative offer from other teams, reports indicated that Chubb would rather agree to an incentive-laden contract to join Texans star Joe Mixon in the backfield.
Mixon comes off his second Pro Bowl season, during which he ran for 1,016 yards and 11 touchdowns in his first season with Houston.
A second-round pick in 2018, Chubb spent his first seven years in the NFL with the Cleveland Browns, including four that saw him rush for at least 1,000 yards. In total, Chubb ran for 6,843 yards and 51 touchdowns, both of which rank third all-time in franchise history.
However, Chubb was sidelined for much of the last two years in Cleveland as a result of knee and foot injuries.
