I am not surprised.

Kareem Hunt to KC for visit

Oh, this has a chance to be so cool.

But my favorite part is "6-8 weeks".

My dick has lift off. Very erect.

6-8 weeks is good to hear. Especially on what's been a stressful Monday thus far.

Just for a visit. JFC slow down.

He will be kicking it in KC again.

I was thinking about this yesterday. It’s time to forgive if he has any game left.

If we sign him, and he sticks....and he doesn't suck....and we win the SB....it'd be a helluva retribution story for him.

Didn't they say he'd never play for the Chiefs again?

AKA, if I he has kept himself in decent shape, he will be signing.

Quick! To the time machine!

Yes, hence my OP edit. I mean, he is technically returning. For a visit. But sorry to have jumped the gun with the thread title I can't fix.

I thought Butker and Araiza looked good personally.

Son of a bitch. Is Butker hurt too?

2018 Kareem Hunt will not be walking through that door.

Washed up.

At least he has played in Andy's system before so it won't be something completely new to him and he will, likely, be up to speed faster than pretty much anyone other than JMC.

**** it, someone get on the phone with Jamal Charles. Lets do it. My body is ready.

Kimble Anders would thrive in Andy’s offense.

Kareem is seeking/asking for a Title, Hunt!

Bring him home.

Goddamn I’d be so pumped.

I wonder what he has left in the tank? If he sticks, he won't be what he was when he was here last time, but hopefully will show out enough to make a difference.

Hopefully he shows up ready to kick some ass.

Peyton Hendershot just got waived so that's 2 roster spots open, something is brewing.

Donovan Smith + a RB.

But he LIED!!!1....-CP idiots and Clark, apparently.

He surely can't be Ezekiel Elliott bad

That's probably a good call. Was trying to think who else they'd be looking at. Gotta be him.

They know this three-peat is at great risk if LT doesn't improve in big spots.

Let's just say, for the sake of dreaming, that he comes back and plays like he did 5 years ago....

Is a hands-free on the table?

37 year-old Jamaal Charles? ROFL

Are we sure Donovan Smith's Back/Neck isn't ****ed?

Intredasting.

He’s probably washed but this still makes me geek out.

He was so fun to watch here.

He made a mistake, he has learned and he has earned an opportunity for a second chance. I hope he has some gas left in the tank. Would love to see him earn a ring with Pat.

He's definitely not what he once was, but I do think he'll have a better shot at success in KC just because everyone goes light boxes against the Chiefs to the extreme. As opposed to Cleveland who centers their offense around the run.

Saw it again yesterday. Bengals would rather give up 400 yards rushing than give up one big pass play. Not sure we'll see the big plays of 2018, but he'd be a guy they want to pound the offense ahead 5 yards at a time.

He cost the team $100K that is what is brewing lol

Do it Clark, Veach, & Andy. This country is all about second chances & redemption. Kareem had great chemistry with Mahomes, including Kareem’s ability in the passing game.

(Should have never been released in the first place...)

Still looks fast to me!

He was active yesterday after that...assuming he comes back to the PS.

I also would like to see him get a ring.

He made a bad mistake when he was really young and he paid severely for it.

He was part of that core in 2018 that was so fun to watch. It’d be cool to see a redemption arc for him here.

Works for me.

He's always had good hands, so at the very least he can be an asset in the screen game etc.

Glad to see Clark has learned to forgive

they aren't taking it out for air

Ugh.

I really don’t want to deal with all the idiot fans who think this means we’re getting 2017-18 Kareem Hunt.

We can bring in Okoye for short-yardage situations.

We need him for depth alone........

Carson is our starting running back and he undrafted.... We need depth

The one thing about this is Hunt will give it everything he has so he can make it right in KC

Brother wants a ring.......

**** it bring back Frank Clark too while you’re at it!

Playoff sacks! We need playoff sacks for the three peat!!!!

I’m done in here. Ya’ll have your jackoff session over sucky old players we should bring in.

Might be. But if it isn’t id bring him as an emergency backup at minimum in case they Kingsley can’t get it done.

****ING AWESOME!!!

Why would they bring Donovan Smith back after a game or 2?

I mean, at worst this is just this year's LeSean McCoy/Leveon Bell, but way more fun. It's just part of our annual Super Bowl journey.

Well, this thread has potential to bring up some old fist pounding "it will never happen" posts if one were so inclined to invest in a search.

Obviously we'd be getting a version well past his peak...but I'm not sure he's washed. Looks like there may be a little left, and frankly we need depth there.

This is a 6-8 week stop gap.

We aren’t going out and getting an elite RB.

This is someone who knows the offense and has chemistry with Mahomes who can hold down the fort until Pacheco heals. Seems fine to me.

Hunt in his prime > Pacheco

C'mon man - not even a fair comparison.

Kareem averaged around 400 rushing yards per season as the #2 behind Nick Chubb with Mayfield, Brissett, Watson, Flacco, Walker and Thompson-Robinson at QB. The Browns have been a dumpster fire for years...

Yep! And we just need to have him do it for ONE season!

They don’t need him to be 2018 Kareem. The defense is better now so the offense doesn’t need 40 points every week to win. Just get Kareem to help convert first downs and keep the chains moving.

I last remember him 2 years ago and he still looked good.

For a situation similar to what happened yesterday.

Kingsley getting overwhelmed by a veteran pass rusher and the Chiefs needing a better Plan B than Wanya Morris to protect Mahomes’ blind side.

Yes, do that for the morale boost too.

And last year he averaged 3 yards a carry.

This is not the look of a man who would ever disappoint Patrick Mahomes II.

Nope, that's where we draw the line in the turf.

We’re getting the band back together!! Should we sign Damien Williams too?

Interesting. I guess I'm okay with this if he's still got something left in the tank. Obviously, they aren't bringing him in to be the starter while Pop heals, so that's alright.

Now that was a RB that was perfect for this system. Too bad he couldn't stay healthy. Though, he was great down the stretch of 2019 and in the playoffs.

If he’s in shape consider him signed.

Same here. Pretty excited.

You gotta believe he's stoked to come back and play for a winner again, whatever he has left we'll get it

He'll be a solid, steady addition in spot duty... this was a no brainer move IMO

NFL fandom would explode..."first it's Tay Tay, now the Hunt retribution story arc...why can't MY team be interesting!?! This is so scripted!" FOllowed my a million "I'm done! (s)"

Hunt might be washed but he still has good hands, doesn't fumble, and has a nose for the end zone on goal line situations.

I guess it went from you lied to our faces scumbag, that bridge was burned. Now is, what kind of shape you in?

Look I want Kingsley to continue starting until it proves completely untenable but had we lost yesterday, it was going to be almost 100% because of how poorly he played.

So I’d like to have a vet option available if he can’t improve like we hope. Cause I’m not confident Wanya would do any better.

Could easily cost them the season if Hendrickson does that in a playoff game.
