"It means a lot to me to be able to stay in Cleveland and be a Brown," Chubb said in a team press release. "It's an honor to put on the orange helmet and represent the city of Cleveland and these great fans. I'm happy that I will be able to be here for many more years. The Browns put their faith in me during the draft and I want to say thank you to everyone who believed in me and who has supported me. There is still a lot of work to do to continue to get better and become a better team."
"Nick Chubb is a tremendous football player, but an even better person," head coach Kevin Stefanski said. "He is one of the best examples of a team player that I've been around. Nick always puts the team before himself, and that's why you love seeing a guy like him get rewarded."

I don’t believe the Browns will have to clear the bar Josh Allen set this week in Buffalo, but at least everyone knows the framework now of a potential extension for Baker Mayfield in Cleveland.
Allen’s six-year, $258 million deal comes with an average annual value of $43 million and $150 million in guarantees.

Nice showings from Owusu-Koramoah, LeCounte and Felton last night, as far as the 2021 class goes.

Dick Schafrath, former Browns offensive lineman, NFL champion and 4-time All-Pro, dies at 84
By Tim Bielik, cleveland.com
CLEVELAND, Ohio — Former Browns offensive lineman Dick Schafrath passed away on Sunday at the age of 84.
“The Cleveland Browns were saddened to learn of the passing of Dick Schafrath,” the team said in a statement on Monday. “He was a Cleveland Brown and Ohioan to his core. Schafrath’s unmatched work ethic helped establish what it means to be a Cleveland Brown. He was one of the most decorated offensive linemen in team history, earning numerous Pro Bowl and All-Pro honors. He also helped the Browns capture the 1964 NFL Championship and opened holes for three Hall of Fame runners. We send our deepest condolences to his family.”
Schafrath played his entire NFL career with the Browns. He played for 13 seasons in Cleveland, starting 158 of his 176 career games at left tackle.
“I played behind Dick for one season and he was just a pleasure to be around,” former Browns offensive lineman Doug Dieken said in a statement. “Not a lot of guys would have taken me under their wing the way he did. He was a great player. His credentials merit the Hall of Fame, but he was also a first class person.”
He was a four-time All-Pro and a six-time Pro Bowler. In 1964, Schafrath was part of the last Browns team to win an NFL championship. He was one of four offensive players who made the Pro Bowl that season. The other three were Frank Ryan, Jim Brown and Paul Warfield. Brown joined Schafrath on the All-Pro team.
Schafrath played his college football at Ohio State before being drafted by the Browns with the No. 23 pick in the 1959 NFL Draft.
“Right after I was drafted, I learned about the rich history of the left tackle position for the Cleveland Browns,” former Browns offensive tackle Joe Thomas said in a statement. “Some of the NFL’s all-time greats lined up in that spot – from Lou Groza to Dick Schafrath to Doug Dieken. Dick helped set the standard for left tackles in the NFL, and I am truly saddened to hear of his passing.”
After football, Schafrath had a lengthy political career, serving in the Ohio Senate from 1987 until he retired in 2000.

Cleveland Browns linebacker and former LSU Tigers standout Jacob Phillips suffered a torn biceps tendon and is now likely to miss the 2021 season, according to a report Friday morning by ESPN senior NFL insider Adam Schefter. As a rookie with the Browns in 2020, Phillips started 3 of 9 regular-season games, totaling 25 tackles (one for loss), one quarterback hit and one pass deflection.
Entering Year 2, Phillips was expected to be a "key contributor on defense," according to Schefter.
