Current Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt still does not know when he will be allowed to return to the field. Nonetheless, the Browns still took a chance on the former Kansas City Chiefs running back, who was released by the AFC West franchise midway through last season.
Hunt was notably involved in a domestic violence incident that ultimately led to his release, a roster move that paved the way for the Browns to add the former Chiefs rusher. Yet to make his Browns debut, though, it remains to be seen as to whether or not Hunt will be permitted to see the field any time soon.
“As for the Hunt suspension, league spokesman Brian McCarthy said there's no timeline for when it will be announced,” writes Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com. “But the Browns are likely hoping it's before the start of the league year to help them make roster roster decisions.”
With Hunt now officially on board in Cleveland, it appears as though fellow Browns running back Duke Johnson Jr. has become a trade chip for the up-and-coming franchise.
“After signing Kareem Hunt on Feb. 11, Dorsey put it out there in a press conference that it doesn't make Johnson expendable ‘yet.' That perked up the ears of the some teams in the NFL, who would love to get their hands on the versatile pass-catching back,” adds Cabot. “At least three NFL teams are currently believed to be interested in trading for Johnson, but more will likely surface if they believe the Browns are serious about it.”
It is also worth noting that former Georgia Bulldogs running back Nick Chubb remains in the mix as well, which will presumably lead to Johnson's eventual departure from Cleveland.
