We should see where he stands on such things soon. I do know that one of the Haslams was not on board with signing Hunt. I assume that was Dee. Dorsey gave a lot of assurances that Hunt would be a model citizen. I have heard that has not been the case. I don’t know if it was more than the recent speeding/weed incident or not. I don’t think Hunt is worth the headache and I think Cleveland is the worst place for him to be. I would think he would be easy to replace. Chubb is the man.

They really didn't miss a beat, because their O is predicated on the pass. I think Hunt is a backup on most teams. I'd take Singletary over him. In the AFC, he'd start in Miami, that's about it.

There might be a team that will give the contract and a 3rd. a 2nd or 1st tenders and he isn’t going anywhere A higher tender would make him less trade-able too. I'd think they would be thrilled with a 5th and satisfied with a 6th for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 (edited) 5 hours ago, dneveu said: Yeah - 3rd might still turn people off on making a multi-year commitment for him. The question is - is he better than a 3rd round pick by the approximately 10 million dollars it'd cost to secure him (Singletary was 4yr at about 4 mil total, hunt would be looking at 3 years 15 mil total and more guaranteed than the 4). I personally don't think moving a 3rd to pay a player a lot more than that slot is smart. If it were a 5th or 6th? Now its of a much greater likelihood that he is better than the player, so it makes more sense. a third is still a pretty big wild card for most positions. But relatively reliable at RB. And hunt comes with risk. I think it’s a fair tipping point in there for his max value. Like 3-4 I’d guess some team would agree Edited January 28, 2020 by NoSaint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Kareem is a good boy now except when he's crazed with disappointment 'cuz his former team is in the Superbowl, then he depends upon the grace of an NFL fanboy cop to keep him from drug possession and open container charges he could definitely be hit with? Yeah, just the sort of forward-thinking focused-on-what-he-can-control player I'd want on my team. Don't get me wrong, having gone from a star player on a Superbowl contender to an afterthought on the Browns has to suck for him. Some salty should be expected. But he could nurse his disappointment (and smoke his pot) in private, at home then take a Lyft or Uber to the airport. What was he planning to do with the vodka, take it through the security checkpoint, or slam shots on the parking shuttle? I would hope Beane would focus on acquiring players with a bit better sense and personal judgement. OK, I lie, I would hope Beane would focus on players with a lot better sense and judgement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree for the most part. All I am saying is that he appears to have messed up his value with this latest transgression. I think Beane will have to evaluate whether Hunt's services as a 1/11 contributor (including any suspensions) is worth his new market price. I am less reluctant to categorically say go for him or dont go for him at this stage. Taking OP at face value, there appeared to be some interest from the Bills' side.

Mat68 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 On the cheap, I would do it. Now, he has alot of off the feild stuff. Will he be suspended again for the traffic stop incident? If available he is a top 5 back in the NFL. Would pair nicley with Singletary. The amount of money he would command would be peanuts compared to what he could offer the offense.

Alphadawg7 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 (edited) On 1/27/2020 at 1:35 PM, MAJBobby said: I don’t think he is. Just take Eno Benjamin in the 3rd or one of the plethora of other RBs that will be there and get the young legs on a rookie deal This. I am all for bringing in Hunt in, just not in a way that costs us draft asset like a 3rd. Plenty of places to grab another RB without the baggage. That being said, I don't think Hunts baggage is all that big of a deal as I think the "incident" got grossly over exaggerated in the media to be more than it was. However, the recent issue suggests maybe some judgement and maturity issues, and because of that extra layer of risk, I wouldn't want us to surrender an asset to get him. I wont be upset if we did, the talent is there and I trust McD and Beane to do their homework before they would add someone like him. But just sitting here now, my preference is not to risk a draft asset and use that asset on someone in the draft they feel can be the guy to compliment Devin. Eno would be a great target and I kind of expect him to be a Bill once the draft is complete. Edited January 29, 2020 by Alphadawg7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
