Colts Sign LB Brandon Chubb, Waive RB Tion Green

The Indianapolis Colts announced Monday that they’ve signed LB Brandon Chubb and waived RB Tion Green.

Green, 24, wound up signing a three-year, $1.66 million contract with the Lions as an undrafted free agent out of Cincinnati last year. He managed to make the 53-man roster coming out of the preseason and was set to make base salaries of $555,000 and $645,000 over the next two years of the agreement when the Lions waived him this past May.

The Colts signed Green to a contract a few weeks ago only to release him earlier in the week. Indianapolis re-signed Green last week.

In 2017, Green appeared in five games for the Lions and rushed for 165 yards on 42 carries (3.9 YPC) to go along with two receptions for 14 yards receiving and two touchdowns.

Chubb, 24, wound up signing a three-year, $1.62 million contract with the Rams as an undrafted free agent out of Wake Forest back in 2016. He was, unfortunately, unable to make the 53-man roster coming out of the preseason but was later signed on to the Rams’ practice squad.

Chubb had short stints with the Lions and 49ers before the Titans signed him to a contract a few weeks ago. Tennessee just recently waived Chubb.

Chubb has yet to appear in an NFL game.
