It isn’t a guarantee that Nick Chubb is 100 percent healthy heading into the 2024 season.

The good news is the Cleveland Browns may have a clear solution – New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley.

In an interview with Complex, Barkley said he is open to playing for a new team, only a season removed from his contract standoff with the Giants during the 2023 offseason.

“It’s rare for a guy to be on one team his whole career. But what I love to be in the likes of Eli Manning, Michael Strahan and Tiki Barber,” Barkley said. “Yeah, but at the same time, I’m not naive, and I’m not. I’m not a fool anymore. I’m at ease that whatever happens, I would love for it to be done, but if it can’t and I’m able to move on, I would love to go to a team where I can help them win the Super Bowl for sure.”

The good news is the Browns are a Super Bowl contender Barkley could make a direct difference on.

Chubb is the franchise. And in the 2023 season, the Browns found success utilizing a running back-by-committee approach. Barkley could give Cleveland stability.

If the Browns brought in Barkley, it would have to come at a price. But that price wouldn’t mean Chubb is shown the door.

Barkley has a history of being unable to stay healthy. In a limited role in Cleveland, he may thrive.

Barkley, depending on the price, could have a market in free agency. He is looking to play somewhere that he could have a direct influence on winning. Cleveland is that place. With two playoff appearances in the last five years, the Browns could finally be the team that helps Barkley hoist the Lombardi trophy.
