Chiefs Bears are interested in Kareem Hunt - Page 3

MAHOMO 4 LIFE! · 01-14-2019, 02:53 PM

Neither Pace nor Nagy slammed the door shut on the possibility that the Bears might eventually consider signing RB Kareem Hunt. To be clear, they're nowhere even close to that at this stage. But the tone of today's Q and A left the door wide open to that possibility.

Nagy says he talked to Kareem Hunt last week. Nothing about football but checking in to see how he's doing.

When asked if he deserves a second chance "That's not for me to decide". He did say that he's been raised to give people second chances. #Bears

Pace & Nagy not exactly shutting the door on the idea of signing Kareem Hunt at some point.

Interesting — they've emphasized that he needs to address off-field issues first

Nagy said he talked with Hunt "about a week ago."

Why the **** would the Chiefs re-sign Kareem. He lied about what went down. They've proven that they're very willing to forgive if you work with them and are up front (Hill). Pulling this shit, lying to your coach, the owner, and your teammates is BS.

Plus Kareem got in trouble for punching a dude over the summer too. Good riddance. RB is one of the most replaceable positions in terms of value if you have a good oline. You can get 85% pretty easily.

He’s untouchable until the three investigations on him are done.

The first one carries a 6 game suspension that starts once it’s handed down...I don’t think there’s a “credit for time served” for time on exemption list.

The second occurrence carries a ban.

He has 3 pending situations with violence that may cause him to be out anywhere from half of next year to literally never playing again.

The only way he gets screwed is if the league leaves him on the Commissioner's exception for another year.

He's not going to make out like a bandit. He'll lose quite a bit of money for lost time. He might make up for that on a quick "prove it" contract. Then if he shows good behavior, he will earn a long term deal that is way less than if he would have had his act together. I'm guessing the NFL will make it known that one more slip up no matter how small and he's gone indefinitely. Teams aren't going to give him a monster salary for that.

Just a pipe dream I guess...Rather see him in a Bears uni than Raiders, Doncs...

Me as well. He's got to make some BIG TIME life - changes, but as long as he does that, I have no issues - Even in the highly unlikely event that he came back to the Chiefs.

Makes perfect sense for the Bears, and Eagles as well, because of the offensive similarities with the Chiefs. Makes sense for the other teams too because he is a very good RB.

Somebody left a copy of the Chicago Tribune sports page in the lunchroom. Front page is two editorials whining about the very notion of it.

I think it would funny if they signed him next year just for the PoundMeToo whine fest value.

This.

If there wasn't a video he would be playing. But unfortunately he has Ray Rice'd himself. Too graphic a video in a PC MeToo political environment and no way would Chicago Progressives accept this.

Hate to say this but he is permanent 'hot garbage' IMHO. I am all for 2nd chances but the PC MeToo culture of this country is not. And Goodell and the NFL definitely knows this.

Well it was newsworthy enough to warrant full page sports section coverage including a picture and back page as well in the Chicago Tribune. I don’t have the “privileges” on CP to post the article maybe someone else around here can.

Hunt never won a playoff game. He can continue that tradition in Oakland or Denver for all I care. He’s just an RB

Damien Williams is the Chiefs starting RB in the AFC Championship Game.

Hunt was a beast and I'll never discount his importance but that being said, I've been very impressed to see how Williams sees openings and gaps and cuts back very effectively...very pleasantly surprised.

I think his overall speed is better for the Chiefs offense. Hunt wasn't a burner. He was great at yards after contact and I do miss watching that style of runner, but Williams' shiftiness and speed have been impressive, and he can still power his way for more yards.

Williams has a LeVeon Bell look to him, and it's not just because he wears #26...

Hunt will be able to go wherever he wants. Only Clark's pride will keep him from being a Chief. Enjoy the payday, son.

Quicker and better burst to the hole than Hunt.
