Chubb was expected to sign with Houston, but the deal was pending a Monday physical, which clearly went well. 

The Browns and Chubb were having discussions about a possible reunion before the 2025 NFL Draft, but NFL Network reported that both sides were unable to find common ground on a deal. 

In turn, Chubb was looking for his next opportunity elsewhere, and he got it with one of the best offenses in the NFL. 

He will be teaming up with Joe Mixon, the do-it-all running back who had 1,325 scrimmage yards and 1,016 yards rushing with 12 total touchdowns over 14 games in his first season with Houston. He earned himself a trip to the Pro Bowl as a result. 

NFL teams have liked the dual running back threat, especially with David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs wreaking havoc on the Detroit Lions. As a result, teams have invested in duos that could do the same for their own offense, and head coach DeMeco Ryans is certainly going to like his backfield if they can stay healthy.
