Kareem Hunt's Return Comes With Stipulations
5 years agoCleveland Browns chief executive officer Jimmy Haslam is not happy with running back Kareem Hunt after he admitted to police that he would've failed a drug test during a Jan. 21 traffic stop. "Kareem knows he’s got to do better. Kevin and Andrew have talked to him about it and I’ll just leave it at that. What he did is not acceptable; he’s got to do better," Haslam said. Hunt will be a restricted free agent this March. When asked if the Browns still want Hunt around, Haslam said, "If Kareem can lay out and follow the expectations we’ve laid out for him." It sounds like Cleveland still wants to move forward with Hunt on their roster, but any more slip-ups and he could be gone. The 24-year-old missed the start of last season for a suspension related to domestic violence, but he was PPR relevant as the change of pace for Nick Chubb in eight games, catching 37 passes for 285 yards and one touchdown. He'd have more value in a backfield all his own obviously, but Hunt can still be relevant in PPR leagues if he remains in Cleveland.
