syd Posted August 6, 2022 Report Share Posted August 6, 2022 well this is news to me and maybe you, he is sitting out of practice because he wants a new contract or to be traded he did say he would like to remain in Cleveland but he wants to get paid sucks if he leaves mother fucker runs so angry and i loved to watch him play But if that is his choice I would think a 3rd round pick would be fair 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gumby73 Posted August 7, 2022 Report Share Posted August 7, 2022 There were contract media reports and Hunt wanting to stay in Cleveland back before OTA's.. The tug of war began, when Berry used a 5th on Jerome Ford.. Hunt has outplayed his 3rd round pick status..but only played in 8 games with 1 start in 2021 due to 2 different injuries Hunt packaged for Jimmy G will be your media reads for next week.. book that.. @tiamat63 it's a damm shame the hawks resigned Poona Ford huh? I don't like my grad's of TU Rockets going anywhere... I swear, if any of us, haven't aged after this off season? Bless ya ! Joyous! more media hot takes coming! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcam222 Posted August 7, 2022 Report Share Posted August 7, 2022 With D’ernest and the draft pick his leverage is pretty low. If he’s angling for starter money he’s as good as gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKC?.. this early into breaking news, I'd almost insert *Can? They surely have already determined can or will without Mary present 😀 The Browns, who *will fine Hunt for skipping team drills, had planned to let him play out the season and then revisit the expiring contract afterward. If the two sides can’t reach an agreement, Hunt could ask to be traded, or the Browns could release him. Heading into the final year of a two-year extension that pays him up to $6.25 million a year.. 57 minutes ago, jcam222 said: With D’ernest and the draft pick his leverage is pretty low. If he’s angling for starter money he’s as good as gone. winning ! ^^ Unless Batman & Hunt combined in the backfield are now going to get combined usage & touches like Mack & Byner? so were squawking over a million more dollars on this season? But feels like? What Hunt really wants is the money with a longer commitment ... So do many X-wife's 🤓 Good night, Merica ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjp28 Posted August 7, 2022 Report Share Posted August 7, 2022 I guess that RB Chart pretty much sums it up. And I believe that Hunt's injuries and maybe diminished skills are catching up to him. Ol' man time doesn't play favorites when it's your time well....... Now maybe he can hang around his favorite team growing up -and- I'm sure he would find value somewhere. Chubb + Hunt was an awesome twosome I guess we'll see what happens coming through the preseason. Will it continue one more season ? Running the ball might come in handy in 2022.

Silver slayer Posted August 7, 2022 Report Share Posted August 7, 2022 Remember this, we gave him a job and a paycheck when 31 other teams wouldn't. If not for Cleveland he wouldn't have any of those millions. He's under contract for this year for that amount for a reason. He's a #2 back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're fresh into training camp and I've seen half dozen reports of ACL and season ending injuries. God forbid the Browns suffer that, but a RB somewhere will eventually go down. At which point, Hunt's value becomes a long term asset for us in what we can recover in trade value. You mentioned Ford being drafted and that plays into having quality depth behind Chubb. That quality doesn't have to include Kareem if you can get a 2nd or 3rd round pick in exchange for him. - Saw the Hawks resigned Poona - One of my better scouting jobs. That guy has really come on strong for them and plays a variety of roles across their front(s) Sucks he isn't in Cleveland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver slayer Posted August 7, 2022 Report Share Posted August 7, 2022 We're actually very deep at RB That's also a position where teams definitely need to stay really young at to be successful. Trading him to Seattle would work well for both sides. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a huge jump from college to pros/ that GM's continue to miss - I like Carson too. Good hard-nosed back who ran angry, sucks he had to hang em' up. Would the Niners be willing to strengthen a division rival by giving them Jimmy G? I'm not so sure about that. However the Kareem bit makes more sense. - Felton's "transition" is more about versatility than anything else, IMHO. He isn't big enough to take on larger DB's and isn't quick enough to be consistently effective against most nickel corners who are used to drawing smaller and faster receivers.. So that means if you park him out there against that kind of 4-2, and he draws a "smaller" nickel CB, I would hope that would invite more running calls forcing these smaller CB's to get aggressively involved in run fits. Of course getting him some more favorable matchups against linebackers is ideal and I'm sure Stef and Co. will have a couple of those designs tucked away for a rainy day. But is Felton likely to become the new Juice? I can't really see that. So as long as Ford and DJ are serviceable catching screens and being a backfield outlet, Kareem's presence becomes less important on this team. - Appreciate the nod bubs. Always nice to see the work get recognition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westside Steve Posted August 7, 2022 Report Share Posted August 7, 2022 I like the guy and if we can keep him at a reasonable price I'd like that to happen. Other younger newer and fresher running backs might step up and keep that for being a necessity. And sure I understand there's a business aspect but it is in all business. If it was we'd just root for the number one seed every season. WSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrb12711 Posted August 7, 2022 Report Share Posted August 7, 2022 Hunt is the man, but he’s 27 years old coming off missing half a season from injury. The injury bug tends to stay around RB more than any other position in the NFL. Nearly $8 million for being a clear backup is more than fair given these variables. if they want to throw the guy a bone and add a year and give a signing bonus this season, I would be all for it. But I also completely understand holding pretty firm with him too. You can’t pay everyone, plain and simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SdBacker80 Posted August 7, 2022 Report Share Posted August 7, 2022 I look at Chubb and Hunt as 1a and 1b. Having both is not a luxury it’s a necessity if you make the effort we have running the ball. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
