Browns sign Kareem Hunt

There is literally zero evidence we would have cut Hill. Zero. Anyone suggesting otherwise is making things up to make themselves feel better.

We're the bad boys. Nobody gives a shit about "shit storms."

For keeping Hunt, the heat would have been turned up to 20 instead of 10 when Hill's girlfriend went full-reerun. Hate would have been ferocious from all directions.

The Chiefs would have been all but forced to cut Hill just on the allegations.


Not saying it's guaranteed, but it would have been likely.

Hunt wasn't playing in the playoff game anyway. Commissioner's exempt list.

He wouldn't have been around for 8 games of this season.

And we wouldn't have him past this rookie contract.

I'm glad we moved on. Darwin Thompson is going to rape faces.

[Imon Yourside]

We have the highest powered offense of alltime and people are still griping about this? Good gravy people.

Who?

Actually, I don't think anybody could have sex with Clark's wife and daughter on the 50-yard line and get away with it.

The chalk on the dress is a dead giveaway.

The only reason why anyone wants to see Cleveland punished is because they believe Kareem Hunt is going to be awesome when he comes back. If this were Knile Davis, you wouldn't give two shits.

Hunt is a great player. It’s a shame he can’t grow up off the field.

Hunt and Thompson would have been an amazing combo of backs.

You know, I can’t help to think about this current Chiefs team with Kareem Hunt and Marcus Peters on it.

This team desperately needs a top corner that can take the ball away.

Oh well

Hunt yes, Peters no.

Peters visibly quit on plays, sold out for turnovers while letting ball carriers drag him 7 or 8 yards. He refused to hit and has clearly shown in LA that he is incapable of playing in various roles around the defense.

He's good at one thing: Playing on one side of the field and trying to jump routes. It's incredibly valuable when it works. When it doesn't he is a massive liability. There's a reason he wasn't in the top 100 players. The league found him out.

Makes me lol reading posts from the homers defending the ridiculous move to release Kareem Hunt. Let me guess you all think Kareem is a scumbag because of this minor incident? What a joke...

His fault. He shouldn't have lied to the team. Add that to the fact that his production was so easily replaced....

I know some think that Reid made the decision to cut Kareem Hunt, but I truly believe it was Clark's decision. I think that Veach and Reid liked Kareem, and knew how popular he was with his teammates. I don't think they were happy with what Kareem did, or how he handled it, but Reid has shown that he sees players as more than just on the field assets, and makes a positive impact on their lives by accepting that they make mistakes and by trying to help them correct those mistakes and become better people.

I think Reid would have made the effort to try and do the same with Kareem, but Clark Hunt is never going to let a player lie to him in a situation like this and let it slide.

Clark Hunt does not seem to have much of a personality, and seems to be freshly awakened from a coma every time he gives an interview, but I have always viewed him as a man of integrity, much like his father. I believe he places a high value on integrity, and Kareem lying about the situation was always going to end with the Chiefs cutting him. Even if he never spoke directly to Clark (I think he did) lying to Veach and Reid is lying to Clark. Clark may have even repeated Kareem's side of the story to NFL officials, and making Clark seem like a liar may have added to his nearly immediate release.

I think Kareem Hunt has some of the best hips, and some of the best balance, of any RB since Barry Sanders, and I hated losing him, but I was over it when we notched our first W without him. I don't care what he does, or how the Browns handle his ongoing behavior. He isn't a Kansas City Chief.

Bullshit. Only reason you are saying this is because it doesn't hurt us too much because we have Reid and Mahomes. If this was Mahomes or Kelce that did what Kareem did you wouldn't want him released and you'd be outraged if it happened and you know that...

Would it be a minor incident if you had a sister or even your mother and someone kicked her?

If what I read is true and she was constantly calling him a ****er while provoking him then I wouldn't give a shit if she got kicked the way she did. It wasn't like the girl had broken ribs or a huge black eye or something like that.

Buddy, I don't think the conversation is about whether people wanted Hunt released or not. Rather, it's about whether it was justified given the circumstances. And I lean on the side of thinking that it was.

I would feel no different had the player been Kelce. (Don't you dare make me think of Mahomes in this situation!!)
