Bradley Chubb, Broncos edge rusher, doesn’t plan on looking beyond this season. He enters his final year of rookie contract and will make $13.9 million on the fifth option.
Chubb, 26, was a rookie who had 12 sacks when he played in all 16 games. Since then, he has never played in every game of a season with less than 7.5 sacks.
Last season, both ankles were operated on to remove bone chips. Chubb took 268 defensive snaps over seven games, and only one interception.
He is ready for a bounce back.
“Yes, sir. It’s something I feel,” Chubb said to Troy Renck of Denver 7. It was one of those situations that you have to go through, you know? It has to come down at some point. It feels like things have been growing and growing, and it’s time to let it all go.”
Chubb was able to stay healthy in the offseason which allowed him to prepare for the season and not just rehab from an injury.
Chubb stated, “It’s been enormous, to be truthful with you, just because it’s not worrying,’ ‘Is it going to be OK?”
Chubb doesn’t have Von Miller to his left anymore, but he has Randy Gregory. Gregory joined Ejiro evero’s defense as a free agent. This will give the Broncos an additional punch if the pass rushers are healthy.
Gregory is making his way to recovery from shoulder surgery offseason.
