Correct according to rappaport "Per Rapoport, Hunt agreed to a one-year deal worth more than $1 million without factoring in the suspension. Hunt will be a restricted free agent at the end of the 2019 season." so if suspended 8 games I would assume it's only 500,000. And as others have mentioned the big kicker no pun intended is we own his rights after this year. So we can either sign him and he gives us a HomeTown discount being from Cleveland or we tag him and trade him if he blows up. The part that worries me is where this incident happened in where several other incidents have happened is in Cleveland because he is from here. So he's around all of his old friends from high school and they don't make the greatest decisions apparently.

Duke can't be happy with the snaps hes getting and now we bring in a Hunt to take away even more playing time. He is going to be nothing more then depth and special teams at this point. Granted hes making like 5 mil a year and hes not destroying his body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarriorsRpussies Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 Very surprised about this move. Thought these would the last place he would end up. Hitting women is wrong but didn't he kick this racist woman up in Cleveland somewhere, which makes it even weirder. While there will be so PR backlash from females I doubt it will much, I think many grossly over-estimate how many women actually supported this train-wreck before this year . As I said before most of the base is older white guys due to 2 decades of losing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why the fuck would THAT not be considered his suspension? Because the Commissioner is an asshole. Also I could be wrong here all of Josh's "leave of absences" or BS wellness checks never counted toward his suspension time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you're doubling down that people can't learn from past mistakes and change for the better- if you think once a scumbag, always a scumbag... If the Browns didn't give Kareem a second chance, some other team certainly would have. 1 hour ago, BaconHound said: I divorce my personal feelings from employability concerning most jobs. Never asked a waiter if he has had a DWI, never asked a Walmart Clerk if they have a past history of domestic violence and don’t care about NFL players history. It’s up to the NFL to collectively bargain penalties for actions and employability and if a person is eligible to play, so be it. You nailed it Bacon... If they're doing their job (in this case being a great football player) it's up to the employer in this case the Browns and NFL- to set the rules of employment. How many guys are still working at (pick a motor company) after they got accused of beating up on their wife\girlfriend? I'd bet plenty. 1 hour ago, ATOM said: he is going to be a RFA at seasons end and if he play's well couldn't we just tag him and get something in return ? Others already have said, low risk, high potential reward. Hunt keeps his act together- the Browns are in line to cash in. The first round tender for a RFA was $4.1 million last year. That's bargain basement compared to what LeVeon Bell thinks he's worth. So we'd get to keep him on the cheap for another year, or get a first round draft pick from another team. Brilliant move by Dorsey to collect a nice bargaining chip for a million bucks.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that I can think is that Eating Turds is himself a former criminal perhaps, miscreant....at minimum an asshole who has done all kinds of dumb/bad things in his life and he has been harshly treated by the law...or society...or family, or someone. And he is resentful that anyone else who has also strayed off the beaten path should be allowed to show redemption and remorse, and attempt to improve themselves.

Before the Ray Rice thing they had nothing in place, since that whole media shit-storm they have implemented a framework on how to deal with Domestic Violence.

What does he get for that I dunno? Does Roger know? The only thing his been consistence at is being inconsistence. Doubt he gets time served because of optics of it.

Too bad there was no surveillance video in that bar down south... What Hunt did was minor league compared to what Greg Hardy did to his ex girlfriend... That doesn't make what he did right, or mean he gets out of a significant suspension... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
