CalBear 903 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 On 12/3/2018 at 12:13 PM, CalBear said: He will get claimed. The team claiming him will say "we're very concerned about the incident and will have a deep conversation with Hunt about our expectations for his behavior and what punishment is appropriate." Or some BS like that. Code for "he's a good cheap player and as long as no other video shows up we're good." Actual text: Quote We fully understand and respect the complexity of questions and issues in signing a player with Kareem’s history and do not condone his actions. Given what we know about Kareem through our extensive research, we believe he deserves a second chance but certainly with the understanding that he has to go through critical and essential steps to become a performing member of this organization, aside from what the NFL determines from their ongoing investigation. We fully understand that Kareem is subject to discipline by the NFL. Here at the Browns, there is a detailed plan with expectations laid out that he understands and must follow, because any similar incident will not be tolerated. We will support Kareem through this process and utilize our resources, however permitted, to help him become successful on and off the field as long as he continues to show the commitment necessary to represent this organization. I shoulda been in PR. It still means "he's a good cheap player so we're signing him as long as he can keep his nose clean." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No. 80/20 Chubb/Duke, unless another back is brought in and Duke is shipped out. Re-assess based on performance if Hunt gets near the end of his suspension without another issue. If it's going well then Hunt's not just going to be handed a big piece of pie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Below are the facts: QB - Mayfield (draft), Taylor (trade), Stanton ($4.15 mil gtd) RB - Chubb (draft), Duke (draft), and Hunt (scrap heap) WR - Landry (trade + extend), Higgins (draft), Callaway (draft), Ratley (draft), Perriman (scrap heap) TE - Njoku (draft), Fells ($4.65 mil gtd) OT - Hubbard (9 mil gtd), Robinson (scrap heap), Harrison (udfa) OG - Zeitler ($23 mil gtd), Bitonio (draft), Corbett (draft) C - Tretter (6.5 mil gtd) DE - Garrett (draft), Ogbah (draft), Smith ($4.5 mil gtd), Thomas, (draft), Zetter (scrap heap) DT - Ogunjobi (draft), Coley (udfa) LB - Schobert (draft), Kirksey (draft), Collins (trade + extend), Avery (draft) CB - Ward (draft), Carrie ($10 mil gtd), Mitchell ($3.5 mil gtd), Gaines ($1.4 mil gtd) S - Randall (trade), Peppers (draft), Kindred (draft), BBC (scrap heap) --- 2016 money > $3 mil (just picked a reasonable #) - Tramon Williams + Demario Davis (they fit your criteria but I'd argue they weren't overpay's - they were positive contributors at positions void of a starter), RG3 (he doesn't fit because Hue), McCown (was already here) 2017 - Brock (but actually Chubb), Haden (already here), Britt (facepalm) - but would have been used to extend Pryor if he weren't an idiot 2018 - nobody --- So in 4 years you can easily point to one player that fits your criteria - Britt - and he wasn't even what the team wanted to. Flimsily point to two - because Brock wasn't about Brock, it was about what turned into Chubb. And...really can't make a strong argument for anyone else. The facts are this team was ripped down to the studs and was rebuilt via acquiring draft capital, taking shots on cheap young talent, and (for the most part) unproven but young(ish) free agents who would accept modest contracts the team could get out of easily. The team was either 1st or 2nd in cap space in each of the last 3 years. The only free agents that received > $10 mil gtd were Zeitler, Brock, and Britt. And if you wiggle to $10.5 then it's only Zeitler and Brock. And again, Brock wasn't brought here to QB - he was brought here to acquire a pick for when this team would be good. And he wasn't a free agent anyway. All of this is why this team has so much cap space now along with extra draft picks (again), despite already having a capable starting lineup. --- tl;dr - WAT Yeah you are missing the point. Obviously rookie contracts are inexpensive and the Browns have a lot of cap space, more cap space than they are allowed to have without being penalized. They have to spend the money some where. Your list of players is incomplete and does not include the player that was being talked about Carlos Hyde. Obviously there are others such as Jamie Collins and Tyrod Taylor as highly paid players by the Browns recently. As far as overspending in free agency, every team does that, it is just the economics of the NFL with a yearly rising salary cap. I never was trying to say that the Browns have overspent or anything, just that them signing Carlos Hyde and Duke Johnson to decently sized contracts for a RB was part of filling that gap in the salary cap which is what they did.

Faust 5,653 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Quote NFL suspended Browns RB Kareem Hunt eight games for violating the league's personal-conduct policy. Hunt's ban was expected to be for at least six games, so this falls in line with that. The Browns shouldn't be surprised here. For the first half of the season, Nick Chubb will be Cleveland's workhorse. Hunt will not appeal the ban after being caught on video beating up a woman at a hotel. The Browns will welcome Hunt back with open arms as long as he doesn't have anymore slip-ups. NFL teams will always bet on talent no matter how harsh the crime committed.

Stinkin Ref 1,348 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Hunt is a tough pick in redraft since he won't see the field until week 10. First weeks of WW activity can be pretty important and having him clog up a roster spot for 9 weeks with no action and then not really knowing what his role will be and what the Browns will look like by week 10 is kind of a mystery. I guess people are expecting him to be a game changer for the last 7 weeks (since most leagues end week 16). Huge roster leagues, maybe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That’s an interesting theory that I imagine has minimal empirical, historical support. If Browns are strolling into the playoffs, Chubb will get some rest the final game, regardless of whether it’s me or Hunt at backup. In the more likely scenario where the Browns are fighting for a playoff spot or higher seed, the best players will see the field as usual. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds like it was blown out of proportion. Will it have an impact on his suspension? Possible since it was at a "possible bar fight" and he has alcohol & anger management issues. https://www.tmz.com/2019/07/01/kareem-hunt-police-officers-video-cleveland/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
