To be fair, a video of domestic abuse ended Ray Rice's careerSo much for all the career is over talk. Reasonable people knew better and you know who you are.
He won't be a Brown next year.So he'll be returning about a yr from when he was suspended. This has to make everyone happy expect us Chubb owners
was thinking about this....those 6 games last year weren't really the suspension....although they kind of were...Well, he missed 6 games the end of last year too. Feels about right.
Punching a woman in the face made Mixon a 2nd round pick instead of a 1st. Quite a difference between all 3 here.To be fair, a video of domestic abuse ended Ray Rice's career
career over... lol... who on earth wants to fest up to saying that? what a crockSo much for all the career is over talk. Reasonable people knew better and you know who you are.
I would think the comparison we should focus on should be on the heinous act, not that one was 7 years older than the other when it occured. Rice was good enough to keep playing for at least one team somewhere in the NFL. Hunt is getting off easy. I honestly thought he would have to lose about two years before he could play again. Guess this is another case of the hypocrisy of the NFL.Rice's career was on the steep downslope and Hunt's on the rise. There was never much remaining career comparison.
not as much as his play did, that and his video was just sooooo much worseTo be fair, a video of domestic abuse ended Ray Rice's career
yes he will. WHy would you think he wouldnt be?He won't be a Brown next year.
Edit: Oh. You meant he'll return later this year.
You are mad at the NFL while the actual LEGAL SYSTEM didn't even punish him.I would think the comparison we should focus on should be on the heinous act, not that one was 7 years older than the other when it occured.

It was more his age and declining skills coupled with the video. Obviously because Kareem Hunt...not as much as his play did, that and his video was just sooooo much worse
Because he may want to go somewhere to get paid as a starter and Cleveland already has Chubb.yes he will. WHy would you think he wouldnt be?
He signed a one year contract. That's this year.yes he will. WHy would you think he wouldnt be?
Not even close to being the same magnitude.To be fair, a video of domestic abuse ended Ray Rice's career

It gets tricky because Hunt will be a restricted free agent next year, not unrestricted. So if Cleveland puts a 1st round tender on him it may make it unlikely that another team would pay up.He signed a one year contract. That's this year.
I'm just guessing he won't want to play 1b/2/whatever with Chubb. He'll try to get starter money elsewhere, and will get it.
But then they would have to pay him a bunch, right? Doubt they'd do that.It gets tricky because Hunt will be a restricted free agent next year, not unrestricted. So if Cleveland puts a 1st round tender on him it may make it unlikely that another team would pay up.
Agreed but the Ray Rice incident occurred before the MeToo movement caught hold.Not even close to being the same magnitude.
It was $4 million this year, which is a pretty reasonable amount with Chubb still on his rookie deal. Adrian Peterson and Tevin Coleman are both making that much for not necessarily starting roles.But then they would have to pay him a bunch, right? Doubt they'd do that.
No.But then they would have to pay him a bunch, right? Doubt they'd do that.
What makes you say THAT?No.
He will be a brown next year unless he gets suspended, major injury, or just flat out sucks
Not to answer for ghostguy but I agreed with him and it's because they own his rights and Dorsey is in business of collecting talent, not letting it walk out the door.What makes you say THAT?
Huh? Hunt's salary is $975 and that was knowing some would be credited back with a looming suspension.It was $4 million this year, which is a pretty reasonable amount with Chubb still on his rookie deal. Adrian Peterson and Tevin Coleman are both making that much for not necessarily starting roles.
I agree with him. There' no reason not to bring back a dynamic weapon. They will have the cap room (they are still $56M under the cap now and may roll a ton over) and Baker is on a rookie deal. Why not bring back guy that are really good? Even if it's a Gurley contract they can easily absorb that.What makes you say THAT?

The reason KC cut Hunt was he flat out lied to Andy Reid, they knew about the incident, then the tape always changes everythingMixon

DL for Panthers couple years back
NFL picks and chooses when to care
(hell, A Peterson beat the living heck out his small kids with a stick ..........)
They probably don't even do a 1st round tender. If they do a 2nd and some team signs him they can match what would probably be a pretty team friendly deal since no team will give up a 2nd AND offer a huge deal.Cleveland will get Hunt pretty cheap next year if they want him. A first round tender, probably no NFL team will want to sign Hunt, pay him big $$$$ and they have to give Cleveland their 1st round pick. Hunt would probably make between $5 or $6 million next year if the Browns tender him at the first round value.
Ok the post I quoted didn't have that in there, my bad, thought "it" was his current salary.
We were talking about how much a 1st round RFA tender would cost next year and if it would be more than they'd be willing to pay for him at that time.
They'd be nuts not to offer the 1st tender. You gotta believe he's getting some kind of monster offer so the starting baseline they put out is irrelevant. But they should absolutely point the biggest gun they have at the offering team, maybe they are willing to offer him a little less money since he costs a higher pick. And if they can't match it they get the best compensation. That's a no-brainer.They probably don't even do a 1st round tender. If they do a 2nd and some team signs him they can match what would probably be a pretty team friendly deal since no team will give up a 2nd AND offer a huge deal.
Or they get a 2nd rounder if someone gets crazy
was thinking about this....those 6 games last year weren't really the suspension....although they kind of were...
I saw that he is not appealing....and I guess I get it, but you would think he would at least try to appeal and maybe get it reduced to 6 or something (considering he did also miss those 6 games last year).....if he appeals does it make him look worse?...idk...

Domestic violence is domestic violence. Your logic is like saying that killing a person with a spoon isn't as bad as killing them with a knife. The actual intent and act count.Was Rice suspended for 2 years?
I don’t get were some people’s heads are at. Rice knocked his girlfriend out. Hunt pushed some girl. Only in the shark pool would anyone compare the 2.
You assume way too much. I never said I was mad. I was just questioning the consistency.You are mad at the NFL while the actual LEGAL SYSTEM didn't even punish him.
If anything I think the NFL does far too much in terms of suspensions when compared to the actual legal issues for the player.
Quit being mad at the wrong people.
You absolutely can. Both men physically touched and harmed another person. That is not okay. If you send your kid to school and the come home with a report they were pushed or punched or even their hair pulled, doesn't matter. It's no allowed and there are consequences for that.Seriously, you can’t compare what Rice did to what Hunt did - especially considering the mitigating circumstances.
