Fun times!
Wants paid knowing he has to run into a stacked box all season before heading into FA.

I'd hate to see him go.
But if it has to happen, I hope what we saw of D'Ernest last season was the real thing moving forward.

I would put the chances of this front office paying Hunt anymore than he is already scheduled to be paid at pretty close to zero.

Looks like we’ll be trading him for a mid round pick … what teams could use his skill set?

Kamara should be suspended so they would need a RB. However, the NFL already pushed his hearing back, so they are hoping his story just goes away. Other than that......maybe Buffalo, Houston, Bears, Falcons, TB, and maybe Seattle.

I don't think it's fair to say that Hunt is a 2nd string RB. He led the league in rushing. He is probably a better all-around back than Chubb. With that said, the market for RBs has been less than lukewarm for awhile now.

I wonder how much of this new attitude has to do with the contrast between how his "homecoming" to the Browns worked out and the way the team is treating Watson.
Hunt:
Took full responsibility Showed true remorse Sought professional treatment
Put his head down and worked for peanuts Signed team-friendly contract 8M guaranteed
Watson:
No responsibility No remorse No treatment
Red carpet Sun, moon and stars 240M guaranteed / protected from suspension
May very well be the impetus for "time to move on".

Do we know, does he want more money, meaning a higher per year salary or does he want more years at the same salary, or both?

I really like Hunt, but I am questioning his strategy. He does not appear to have a lot of leverage. Also, I'm not sure I like the Browns hard-line stance, but that might just be a perception given the reporting language.

I'm old enough to remember when the Browns told Baker they would not trade him after he requested a trade.
Thanks for the memories, Kareem!

New Orleans could make sense, but it appears that the NFL is conveniently just sweeping the Kamara incident under the rug

I know stats don't lie, but for me Kareem passes the eye test. Seems like he always makes some plays when we need them the most. How are we going to screw up the best RB duo in the NFL? makes no sense to me. I guess the flip side to this would mean more carries for Chubb, so he can rightfully lead the league in yards.

I’m not particularly worried about the running game, I’m more concerned with the passing game without Kareem

KEEP KAREEM! Pay him. We could have 10 Hunts for the price of one RDW. We should try to keep the key talent we have since we traded the farm in first-rounders for RDW.

I would be pretty surprised if both Hunt and Johnson are on the team week one.

I don't blame Hunt. His window to get paid is closing exponentially with each passing day.
I hope he and the Browns can get it worked out. Love watching him play, and I believe he's part of the solution here. But it's understandable from both sides if they can't.

It's a business. Try to get out after a few more years while the getting is sort of good. I don't know if it's a situation where he and his agent believe he can make #1 RB money for another team for the short term or not. It was bound to happen. It would be tough to lose him, especially with some other Browns' issues up in the air now.

Maybe this is just Hunt making an executive decision on his body that, He isn't going to learn anything he doesn't already know, So it isn't any benefit to be going into 7-on 7s and II on IIs in training camp when all that can happen is the risk of injury at this point of his career. and when the games come around he'll be ready to go.
Pre-Season needs abolished too.
Can Deshaun Watson play better for the Browns, than Baker Mayfield would have? ... Now the Games count.

Anyway you slice it, it just another cloud of drama that this franchise doesnt need. Maybe the drafting of Ford was a indictment of the front office expecting this Hunt. I.dont understand the reluctance of trading Hunt. RB is the strongest position on this Team while WR is the weakest. Trade Hunt for a draft pick next year and use that pick for a WR.

Good news. We are better off w/him than the draft choice and he probably wasn't going to get the money he is seeking elsewhere. Someone mentioned this already, but his best bet is to have a great year and then get a new contract here or somewhere else next year.

Good news that he’s participating today. Having him on the team this year helps us this year.

I don't blame him. He will never be the feature back here, and that hurts is earning potential. He was bound to ask for more money sooner or later. The dude is a stud and would be RB #1 anywhere he went.
