NFL Rumors: Landing Spots For 3 Top Free Agent RBs This Offseason
Nick Chubb, a four-time Pro Bowler, remains a key piece for the Cleveland Browns despite an injury-plagued 2024 season.
Browns GM Andrew Berry called Chubb a "Ring of Honor player" and expressed confidence in his future with the team. However, should the Browns choose to move on, the Las Vegas Raiders and Tennessee Titans, both looking to revamp their rushing attacks, could emerge as strong suitors.

J.K. Dobbins revived his career with the Los Angeles Chargers in 2024, thriving under offensive coordinator Greg Roman with 1,058 scrimmage yards and a 4.6 yards-per-carry average.
Staying in Los Angeles seems likely given his success in Roman’s system, but the Denver Broncos and Pittsburgh Steelers could also be appealing options. Both teams rely heavily on the run and need a consistent backfield presence to support their offenses.
Dobbins’ proven ability to produce in a run-heavy scheme makes him a valuable target for teams looking for a reliable and dynamic runner.

Rico Dowdle, after breaking out as the Dallas Cowboys’ lead back with 1,328 scrimmage yards in 2024, could be an ideal addition for the Denver Broncos.
With young quarterback Bo Nix under center and a rushing attack ranked 21st last season, Denver could benefit from Dowdle’s consistent production and ability to anchor the ground game.
The Raiders and Chargers, armed with cap space, may also look to sign him to add depth to their backfields.
