This offense is still scoring a lot of points.

fast-forward a few seasons, and say Tyreek isn't resigned and Kelce is over the hill

You got Chris Conleys runnin' around in triplicate(replacement player level talent).. it aint all Mahomes brah

After the backlash that the Redskins just got? Nobody is claiming Hunt.

Because of the PR nightmare, and people's feelings.

It's the PC thing to do.

You PC, bro?

we only had Hunt for two more years. This happening to Mahomes :eek: devestating would be best case.

Yeah, I'm not sure what to think about the video. Would the Chiefs pay for something like that? Would paying for that come back and bite them? I'd think it would be in their best interest to do whatever it took to absolve themselves of risk. Also, why wouldn't the police have access to that video if it existed? Lots of weirdness...

I'm surprised but not shocked. The chiefs were in a tough spot. The team is on a legitimate super bowl run. Without him it is going to be tougher but having him on the team moving forward was going to be a major distraction and a source of unending negative attention.

I am very down about it because I liked Hunt and it was very disappointing, but even more so because this season is never going to be the same. The last thing I wanted was for this to be the focus of any discussion involving the chiefs for the rest of the season.

Frankly, the chiefs were damned if they do and damned if the don't. At least this way they won't have to deal with the distraction and the negativity while trying to win a championship. Still, it really sucks, though. Hunt was a special talent and I think a fundamentally decent person who behaved very badly.

Not how it works think Foster, exempt list doesn’t overuse free agents rules in the CBA just means he can play. But you can still claim suspended players.

He will not clear waivers, and should he look for him to be picked up very early in offseason.

Redskins weren’t the only team to put in a waiver

The Redskins are STILL getting roasted for that.

Fair enough. If you were the ceo and saw the video and let’s add the fact he lied to you, it’s automatic termination, no discussion. It’s a business guys.

So where is the proof Kareem lied other than Clark covering his ass against the Twitterverse? Exactly. None.

The Chiefs put out multi paragraph press releases when they cut the five thousandth pick of the draft from saint marys school of the blind but three sentences on Kareem.

Pure CYA. Rain Man and Blowfish win this entire thread.

If they’re not paying a PI to go figure out what happened in cases that could blow up on them they’re dumb. And terrible at risk management.

Reality is the league told Clark that Hunt was suspended for the season and Clark decided to give Kareem the axe

The fact that Kareem won’t start in the playoffs isn’t Clark’s fault, it’s the NFL. Clark weighed cost/benefits of keeping Kareem on roster to return in 2019 and Clark just said “f*** it” and cut him
