Henry is almost 2 years older and abd got used and abused. Kareem was a part-time player the past several seasons and is now healthy. He still has something left.

Lot of hating going on in here over a potential signing where we aren't asking for 2018 Kareem Hunt to come back anyhow.

Would continue to argue that the benefit is more intangible than tangible, but even still, I'm betting he can get what's blocked with this interior OL and fall forward at the point of contact. He can run the whole playbook. And with this offense, that might be all you need for a month or so.

Honestly... lots of CEH to my eyes.

Still, might be a useful body, especially in short yardage.

That's also in Cleveland's offense.

Time to bring back the Kareem

No it doesn't. Dude just turned 29 last month. The last time he was here, his skill set was perfect for the offense. They only need him this season. He's going to be motivated, so they'll get his best . They won't sign him if they don't think he can bring anything.

Dude how do people not know that we need the ****ing depth.

RunKC 09-17-2024 08:31 AM

I remember hearing all the KC analyst folks saying McKinnon looked noticeably slower last year. I think that with his age is why they aren’t going to him first.

Kareem is only 29. I think he can still give them enough juice to be a rotational player. His effort moving the chains and breaking tackles along with blocking is valuable.

tredadda 09-17-2024 08:33 AM

He would definitely bring a lot of value to this team and I would think he still has a bunch left in the tank. He wasn’t the primary RB in Cleveland and doesn’t have the mileage that he should have for his age. KC doesn’t need prime Tomlinson, they just need a guy who can gain tough yards, can be a receiving threat, and doesn’t cough up the ball. Hunt provides that.

Why do we need another kicker?

Butker hurt?

TheGuardian 09-17-2024 08:45 AM

Dude WTF is this thread???? A dude is "washed" at 29 that has not taken a beating running the rock for years?

Sit the **** down on that dumb shit. Sometimes the brain rot in here is next level.

IIRC, good pass blocker as well.

Our RB1 may be a guy who has a total of 9 NFL carries after having been an UDFA...

Our RB2 may be a guy primarily used on 3rd downs who has had 1 season with >100 carries and that was back in 2017...

But bringing back Kareem Hunt would be 'desperation'..... ROFL

Do you think we're operating from a position of strength here, bro?

He's not the explosive player he was 6 years ago, he still knows how to move his feet and get through holes though.
