Cut/Released: Kareem Hunt

[GKJ]

If I'm reading the tea leaves here, sure seems like Hunt isn't playing next year.

I think after his league suspension we could see teams being interested in signing him

The suspension doesn't kick in till he signs

 

[GKJ]

So whoever signs him would have to take the PR hit for signing him, and then again when he serves his suspension and plays.

There's a non-zero chance that Hunt never plays another NFL game.

If they gave Zeke 6 after being told they should give him 0 games, I wouldn't be shocked for them to give him a 16 gamer or close to it.

Anger issues mixed with (likely) substance abuse has ruined lots of people's lives. Have to get help before things like this happen, though the reality is most people won't do anything until there's actual consequences.

Well, this is what I said after it happened so good on him for addressing the issues eventually. 50/50 he plays again in the league, IMO.

 

[Voight]

A little late there but good for him.

He’s definitely coming back. He’s a young, talented RB. That’s a highly desired position for any football team. I think he’s scum, but he’ll play again.

How is this a story? This was like less than 1000 words

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

And the NFL continues to show that they don't give a shit about domestic violence.

 

[Pestilence]

That wasn't a domestic abuse case though.

 

[Sports Enthusiast]

Lol people have been duped into their social justice warrior stances.

They and all corporations only care about money. Kareem Hunt can make them money, he's talented. He's a dual threat runningback.

Ray Rice was already on the decline.

Bill cut Shady and Hunt goes there.

Bill cut Shady and Hunt goes there.

Who is Shady?

 

[Voight]

And the NFL continues to show that they don't give a **** about domestic violence.

Zeke got 6 for what amounted to nothing, so Hunt is looking at an easy 10 gamer, probably 12 or 14.

 

[Habsawce]

Honestly if Hunt just told the truth, the NFL would have buried this long ago. He made them look bad, so he'll eat probably 8 games and in 2 seasons it will all be forgotten.

 

[TheAngryHank]

Who is Shady?

McCoy

 

[Sports Enthusiast]

McCoy

The Bill part confused me, I thought their GM's name was Brandon.

I can't see Hunt going to Buffalo but it would make sense for Buffalo to move on from McCoy.

 

[Voight]

If Dallas didnt have Zeke he'd be a lock to go there.

I think some teams are out of the running because of ownership. For example I cant see the Rooneys going after a player who assaulted a women.

[Voight]

There was never any concrete proof he did anything. There is a video of Hunt launching a women across a hallway.

 

[Habsawce]

I hope he goes back to KC. Doubt it though.

No chance. They were pissed he lied to them, thats why they instantly released him. That bridge was burned.

Eh, for the Steelers (like any team) it just depends how good you are. James Harrison was charged with domestic violence and since he was in his prime, the team didn't care. Cedrick Wilson does the same thing around the same time, and since he's a special teamer he's cut immediately. That's how life works.

It's also how the Chiefs would have handled it if it was a different player. Easy to waive an RB on a rookie deal, different to do it if it's a legit star (like Mahomes) or someone who kills your cap if you release them (like say, Sammy Watkins). Every situation is different.

Hunt's talent is also vastly overrated - no surprise that Damien Williams has been able to come in and give them 80% or more of what Hunt did for them.
