Initially, it was hard to ever imagine former Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt finding work in the NFL again. However, according to a slew of recent reports, it seems as though there are at least a few teams that are potentially interested in his services going forward.
According to a Tuesday afternoon report from Ian Rapoport of NFL.com, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers could be the latest team in the mix for Hunt. Rapoport notes that because the Buccaneers are one of several running back-needy teams from around the league, the struggling NFC South franchise could make a run at the former Chiefs rusher.
“I would expect teams like the Bucs with big time running back needs and the propensity to make a splash in free agency to be linked to him,” Rapoport said, via PewterReport.com. “These decisions to bring a guy like Kareem Hunt in are made by the owner. That’s where it comes down to it, do the Glazers say: ‘We are okay having this guy in the building, given what he has basically been proven to have done.'”
With his now well-documented history of domestic violence and assault very much out in the open, Hunt is expected to encounter a lengthy suspension upon being reinstated by the NFL once the league's ongoing investigation into the matter concludes. The NFL reportedly hopes to conclude such an investigation before the start of free agency in March 2019 while Hunt is currently on the Commissioner's Exempt List.
He was released by the Chiefs during the 2018-19 regular season.
