I guess it should have been obvious, he's from Cleveland.

Do not understand this signing. Nick Chubb must be pissed.

 

[Terry Yake]

so **** nick chubb right?

Not surprised he signed by someone, but I'm surprised it's the Browns who did it. Seems they are pretty set at RB and they have a lot of good will right now. Seems like a weird gamble to take.

Trade bait

 

[Reality Check]

Make sense for guy who drafted him in the first place. Same goes for Tyreek Hill who has been able to keep himself clean for now. You have to be willing to gamble on some guys and Dorsey is doing just that. Just can't have an entire team full of them.

Not to mention this was hardly Ray Rice 2.0

Free Nick Chubb

Not the Ohio team I would've expected to sign a player with issues...

It's not that. Hunt is better than Chubb, but the guy this truly threatens in Duke Johnson. If the league gives the indication Hunt will be able to play the majority of next season, Johnson is probably gone.

 

[Trap Jesus]

Would never have predicted the Browns to sign him. They seem to be set at RB already and finally had some momentum after a good year. Always a risk to bring in a player like this and the Browns have had off the field issues before.

Bit surprised he would get signed so quickly. The Browns signing him surprises me as well. They've come so far, signing someone with Hunt's issues sets them back a lot IMO.

Interesting. Chubb is a better back than Hunt, but I'm sure Hunt will be given some opportunities as well. Agreed that this doesn't bode well for Duke Johnson.

Hunt is going to be suspended for a portion of the season. So, it’s depth just in case of injury when you get about half way into the season.

For sure. Cheap depth, too.

I'm pretty sure Hunt is getting at least 10 because the domestic abuse thing wasn't the only thing going on. He may get the entire season. But he has to be signed to serve it.

smart pick up. wish my Lions would have took a chance.

Dumb question: if he's not related to or in a relationship with the woman, do the domestic violence rules apply?

 

[m9]

I think a 6 to 10 game suspension for 2019 is a guarantee. I would be surprised if it was outside that range.

I'm not sure, unless they're married, either side can say whatever they want in terms of what the relationship is.

Another team that won't need Bell

He's going to the Jets.

I'm not sure, unless they're married, either side can say whatever they want in terms of what the relationship is.

But in this case, they certainly weren't in a relationship.

I'm asking because I don't know what the NFL rules say here.
