  • Anybody heard anything about whether or not Stefanski wants Hunt? I guess it's probably too early to know but man...I'd really like to have him back. Our red zone and goal line efficiency HAD to increase, although I don't have any stats to prove it.

    Nov 13 -.  Yes they had issues. Some was play design and calling along with the OL.

    BEREA, Ohio -- The Browns have struggled in the red zone and on the goal line this season, which is putting it kindly. It has been a grind for this team to finish drives.

    The Browns, according to the NFL’s game stats and information site, are No. 26 in red zone percentage at 46.67 percent. Near the goal line, it’s worse. According to the NFL’s game stats and information site, the Browns are No. 29 in goal-to-go percentage at 47.37 percent. Only the Lions, Jaguars and Dolphins have been worse.

  • Hunt brings more than just what stats can bring.. When a player, that is use to winning, can openly speak out about other teammates not giving their all on each snap. Those are intangibles that we need that fits Bitonio's quote "We need to just win some f'ing games".. Stef valued the combination of RB's at Vikings and I see the same here, while adding a true FB into the mix. Hope is Hunt takes a reasonable deal cause Hilliard ain't no Hunt.. TE Demetrius Harris should be the X-Dorsey KC Chief out the exit door,, imho..

    Which was a lead dog (Cook), a vet/journeyman (Abdullah) and a couple unknown pups. We have our lead dog so where does Hunt fit?

    NFL teams simply don't invest heavily enough in RBs to keep 2 or starter quality RBs on a roster beyond their rookie deals.

    Then why did we at one time have the likes of Mack and Byner on this team?  Pruitt and Pruitt?  I think it could certainly work.

    I know, I know...you gotta do a proper allocation of the salary cap.  Why does it seem that it is just the Browns that get fucked by that situation?

    It's a odder fit knowing Dorsey is out of Hunts future control hands.. and were not paying Chubb nor Baker for 2 more years so why not Hunt for 2 more? Is their a feature RB team am not seeing but maybe Detroit or Redskins that will overpay for Hunt? It will only take one

    You don't need teams to "overpay" to get a healthy return for a trade.  

    Redskins would be a sweet landing spot though.  Hunt goes out of conference so we don't have that coming back to hurt us in the AFC,  Haskins gets a top 10 back to take pressure off of him and they should have great draft assets.

  • post talked my way through tour's response ^^and now this^^ may cause some serious drinking before bedtime...lol

    Plus none of those RBs were around when the current FA started in '93.

    If Hunt is willing to sign a reasonable, 2-year deal, sure... but if he's the transcendent talent the OP claims what are the odds of that?

    For RBs as much or more than any other position the 2nd contract is the one where they get paid. And as much as it's a matter of the salary amount, it's also about the number of years and guaranteed money.

    The only way we might compete is if we front-load a contract... and I don't see us doing that.

    Hope for 3.5M/year..But McCaffrey, Bernard & Dion Lewis fall between 4-5M/year..

    Interesting Duke(pick 77) & Hunt (86) both went in 3rd & both deals would get done for both at age 25.. 

    am thinking Hunt waits for Melvin Gordan to set the market..Maybe not Dorsey's plan though

    Besides Hunt only Lewis is not on his rookie deal, so I'm not getting why you cited other salaries, gum...

    Bernard, Lewis and Duke are strictly 3rd down back whereas Hunt's rushing title showed he can be more. Makes him a tweener.... very difficult to value.... very difficult to afford... at least beyond 2020.

    In 2020 Hunt's a RFA so if we throw $3.278mm his way, then we'd get a 2020, 2nd-round pick in return, if he's signed away.

    Someone might do it for a 2nd... , but his suspension history could be off-putting.

    We've been here before..from page 1 of this thread as a matter of fact^^^ 2 years at 4M/yr fits the market for Hunt..till King Henry, Kamara & Melvin Gordon reset it

    If you steadily eat too much they call that creeping obesity........if you're on these professional sports ever increasing pay scales it's called what, besides nice for the players?

    Kind of like wage inflation, and every position then says what about us too and it keeps going.

    Making a tender offer is a strategy for gaining compensation should a player be lost to FA. It is not a price guideline.

    I don't see Hunt signing a 2-year deal at $4mm/yr.

    Hunt, Chubb and Hill.

    ......Police found marijuana in a car driven by Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt during a traffic stop Tuesday afternoon, according to an incident report obtained Friday morning by the Akron Beacon Journal.

    Hunt was not cited for the marijuana. He was cited for speeding, going 77 mph in a 60 mph zone westbound on Interstate 90, Rocky River Police Department public information officer George Lichman said.

    When Ptl. Mike Asbury pulled Hunt over at about 12:24 p.m. Tuesday, the odor of marijuana coming from inside the care prompted a probable cause search of the vehicle, according to the incident report. Hunt was placed in the rear of a police cruiser while the search was conducted, and “small amounts of marijuana” were located in three different locations inside a backpack on the car’s back seat......

  • Cleveland.com.....

    .......Police issued Hunt a citation for speeding. Rocky River Municipal Court records do not indicate if and when Hunt is expected to make a court appearance.

  • If you want to sign him, now is the time.  A nothing crime that doesn't help his leverage.
