"Obviously, he's a popular player in the locker room and with the fan base, but the Browns will have to determine what they think Chubb has left as a player -- and he will have to determine where he feels the Browns are headed and how he might fit in that plan," Jackson adds.

Chubb, who will be 29 in two weeks, will be an unrestricted free agent this spring and should get interest from teams looking to make the veteran a part of a timeshare backfield.
