Yeah you are missing the point.MAC_32 said:
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.

Because he wasn't paid much money. I only accounted for free agents that commanded meaningful money. And there's a good argument that some of those cited didn't actually command meaningful money. This team's been intentionally not paying free agents to maximize spending ability once competitive. And now we're there.

Tons of cash for the Browns to spend this year.
I am surprised there are teams such as the Colts who have even more cap space right now.

You got it.
Nothing fancy or funny here as Hunts recent history not a joking matter to me.
He seems to be saying all the right things.

Of course he does......
Geez. The kid had a miserable childhood, being raised in a family whose males’ typical resume was more police blotter than work history. His father was arrested 35 times, including multiple DVs.
Yeah, he pushed and then kicked - actually more tipping over with his foot than kicking - that girl, but several witnesses have stated she was throwing the N word at Hunt and others after she was kicked out and also allegedly spit in Hunt’s face. But he’s still owning his actions as something he should not have done, and has shown genuine remorse for his actions.
He’s appears to be doing a lot of things to change himself into a better person and break a cycle of criminal behavior and violence that is rife in his family, and you react this way? Seriously, what is wrong with you?

Nothing is wrong with me. I'm just aware that every time an athlete or celebrity does something wrong, they run to Jesus. It's typical. Nice double standard you're presenting. I can't be judgmental of him, but you can be judgmental of me.

100% agree
hope Hunt exceeds all expectations and lives an amazing Godly life from here on out
if you're trying to Judge Hunt, then you SHOULD expect people to judge you, shouldn't you ?

Wait, you're complaining about double standards? You just judged Hunt but others can't judge you? Irony much?

Like something more? Another incident? Possibly suspended longer if that's the case? What does this mean?

The story is coming from the DailySnark, so I'm going to wait for credible journalists to report this before I get too excited. Also on twitterverse:

There is a lot of chatter on twitter in Cleveland about the possibility of Kareem Hunt having been involved in a bar fight this weekend. As of right now we know of no police report. We’ve reached out to people in Cleveland and will let you know if there is anything to the rumors.

I know I'm jumping the gun here but if true, the NFL won't be happy, and Chubbcs value will sky rocket.

Wasn't aware Chubb's value had gone down (much) due to Hunt. Hunt is on a one year deal, and won't be in a game till week 10 before this news.

It's not that it's gone down I just hear a few people can be hesitant because of Hunt coming back mid season.

The Browns are going to have to get out in front of this if there is any truth to it whatsoever.

TMZ Sports has video of Hunt speaking with officers.

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.

Cell phone footage shows Hunt being questioned outside of a bar after a disagreement with a friend. No arrest, wasn't detained, but the Browns did say they would have a zero tolerance with Hunt so...we'll see what happens.

Kareem should probably not be drinking in bars/clubs until he's put his previous incident well behind him. Just another case of poor judgement from a 23 year-old. Good thing I never did that

Been in many disagreements with friends. Never been questioned by police over any of them.

Don't worry, he will be fine unless he lies to the team. That's totally why the Chiefs cut him

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.

So, the morning after TMZ has the video of police talking to Kareem, but he was not detained, charged and no report was even filed. 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.

Well, since numbers don't tell the whole story, and there is no definitive way to say how good a player is, there can be no historical support to back it up. That's why I can't prove Barry Sanders is the GOAT, but you can't prove he isn't. But as a theory, let's try to see if the quality of a backup RB factors into rest time for the starter.
Scenario - Team A has these 4 RB's on their roster - Saquon, Zeke, CMC, and Alvin. Team B has these 4 - DJ, Barber, Riddick, and Hyde. Which RB of these 8 do you think would end up with the most touches?
