Browns sign Kareem Hunt
-
I don't get it .. Maybe.. but whatever...
He's gonna be 24 years old when the season starts. He lead the league in rushing and was well on his way this season as well. If he had just told the Chiefs the truth about this, he's still in KC and they probably win the super bowl with him. Dorsey has a history with him since he drafted him and all and Dorsey isn't afraid of a little PR issues if he thinks the guy can help the team win games. No question that Hunt makes the Browns a better team.

he is going to be a RFA at seasons end and if he play's well couldnt we just tag him and get something in return ?

Could be just a one year rental or who knows could be longer term. I've not seen what we are paying him at this point.
could be wrong but i believe it's just 1 million

Very low risk possible high reward signing then.
Correct according to rappaport
"Per Rapoport, Hunt agreed to a one-year deal worth more than $1 million without factoring in the suspension. Hunt will be a restricted free agent at the end of the 2019 season."
so if suspended 8 games I would assume it's only 500,000. And as others have mentioned the big kicker no pun intended is we own his rights after this year. So we can either sign him and he gives us a HomeTown discount being from Cleveland or we tag him and trade him if he blows up. The part that worries me is where this incident happened in where several other incidents have happened is in Cleveland because he is from here. So he's around all of his old friends from high school and they don't make the greatest decisions apparently.

What does this mean for Duke Johnson? I have always felt we under used him in the first place and now he will be lucky to get 5 touches a game. What is his trade value a 5th rounder?
Why trade him? Is there some wrong with having good depth players?
Why trade him? Is there some wrong with having good depth players?
Duke can't be happy with the snaps hes getting and now we bring in a Hunt to take away even more playing time. He is going to be nothing more then depth and special teams at this point. Granted hes making like 5 mil a year and hes not destroying his body.

Didn't think we are in dire need of a running back but I hope he's great...

Then grow a set. Pretty clear you do not have one.

I divorce my personal feelings from employability concerning most job. Never asked a waiter if he has had a DWI, never asked a Walmart Clerk if they have a past history of domestic violence and don’t care about NFL players history. It’s up to the NFL to collectively bargain penalties for actions and employability and if a person is eligible to play, so be it.
Agreed ..... you can be awarded with the biggest job in the land no matter what history you have

Right....I mean, if you can be an embezzler, an enemy collaborator, a pussy grabber and a porn star fucker while your wife is pregnant does not disqualify you from the top job...why should we care about who plays football?

Anyone have a lil birdie whispering to em Dorsey snatched him up to prevent him from landing in the north somewhere?

Not a bad thought. You know that SOMEONE was gonna tap him.

Very surprised about this move. Thought these would the last place he would end up. Hitting women is wrong but didn't he kick this racist woman up in Cleveland somewhere, which makes it even weirder. While there will be so PR backlash from females I doubt it will much, I think many grossly over-estimate how many women actually supported this train-wreck before this year . As I said before most of the base is older white guys due to 2 decades of losing.

He lost most of this past season. Why the fuck would THAT not be considered his suspension?
Because the Commissioner is an asshole. Also I could be wrong here all of Josh's "leave of absences" or BS wellness checks never counted toward his suspension time.

Absurd. The only possible difference that I could see is that if you are on the exempt list....you are not paid....but if you are suspended, you are.

No. I just want good wholesome clean guys on the Browns, not the biggest scumbags that Dorsey can find.
Isn't that exactly what I said? You want a team of Holly Roller Choirboys.... That doesn't happen in the NFL... And I pointed out there's guys in the HOF who have done far worse.

Now you're doubling down that people can't learn from past mistakes and change for the better- if you think once a scumbag, always a scumbag... If the Browns didn't give Kareem a second chance, some other team certainly would have.

You nailed it Bacon... If they're doing their job (in this case being a great football player) it's up to the employer in this case the Browns and NFL- to set the rules of employment. How many guys are still working at (pick a motor company) after they got accused of beating up on their wife\girlfriend? I'd bet plenty.

Others already have said, low risk, high potential reward. Hunt keeps his act together- the Browns are in line to cash in. The first round tender for a RFA was $4.1 million last year. That's bargain basement compared to what LeVeon Bell thinks he's worth. So we'd get to keep him on the cheap for another year, or get a first round draft pick from another team. Brilliant move by Dorsey to collect a nice bargaining chip for a million bucks....

Absurd.
I know, but it seem Godell just makes up rules and punishments on the fly.
