well, it's worth a shot
Mary Kay Cabot @MaryKayCabot · 1m Updated: #Browns sign Kareem Hunt to a one-year deal worth up to $4 million to help replace Nick Chubb

Welcome back. Expectations are low based on his performance last year.
The signing makes sense given the circumstances, however.

So we could’ve kept him the entire time.

A good thing because of familiarity. He is coming back to his last home.
He will be used in a running back by committee.
He is a good pass receiver and blocker.
He is no longer a bell cow type back. But he will fit into a role for the offense.

But he will fit into a role for the offense. no longer a bell cow back? why? because he's a whopping 4 months older than chubb, he had one off year, the year before averaged 5ypc. I think he had some lingering thing last year that reduced his effectiveness. I think he will be fine

What should help Watson (read: reduce whatever excuse he has left) is Kareem being a good catcher and able to easily catch dump off passes and turn them into big gains.

we have to strictly use him in passing situations. Don't let him wear himself out in the box or getting the tough yards. Let him pass block and receive with fresh legs

Good news. Now we need a LT that can at least slow down a pass rusher.
How does a league celebrating its 100th season only recognize the 53 most recent championships?

Let him pass block and receive with fresh legs This is how he worked his way into our offense the first time, and probably would work well again. I'm really hoping last year was the result of some sort of nagging injury, and he's able to work up to being "the guy".
There is no level of sucking we haven't seen; in fact, I'm pretty sure we hold the patents on a few levels of sucking NOBODY had seen until the past few years.

He might have a resurgence with more carries and catches. He’ll probably play hungry now that he’s experienced a 2nd dry spell. And he’s a very stabilizing presence for the locker room, which we desperately need right now. This makes a lot of sense to me. We’re not replacing Chubb with one back no matter what. I like this move a lot. Hell, he could probably be ready to go this Sunday assuming he’s in shape.

This is gonna be the feel-good story of the year.
Hunt comes back as an old re-tread because his best buddy and Cleveland hero goes down. With expectations for him somewhere between a washed-up has been and a decoy, he not only sets records for Cleveland running backs but wins the rushing title enroute to their first Superbowl appearance. Chub, after successful full-knee replacement watches from the sidelines as Cleveland wins a nail-biter over the Philadelphia Eagles 27-24.
D-hop with the last second field goal from the 55 to ice it.
Write it down, boys.

The reason why he was not resigned before was they felt he was slowing down.
He has not been a lead runner since he was in KC.
Not a problem to use him in combination with others.

He has some fire in him. I cant think of any current O player with the fire of Hunt. Glad he is back hope it rubs off.

Welcome back. Expectations are low based on his performance last year.
The signing makes sense given the circumstances, however. That's my feeling... singing makes sense... he can get up to speed faster than any other available back....

Probably, but it will take a while to get in to game shape. If he is to take over the lead back role, it will probably be after the bye...and if Ford plays well he will be the lead back. That said, no matter who is called lead back, carries between the two will probably be a somewhat equal split as the season moves on.

I saw the same thing everyone else did last year, but he is not old, and he doesn’t have that much mileage on him. He led the league in rushing once. And he has a Joe Cribbs-level love for the Browns.

I am usually very optimistic, but this signing has me feeling a bit cautious. There are teams out there that could use a solid backup and $4 M isn't a lot, so it surprises me he wasn't signed by anyone prior to this. I am not saying he has the same ability, or similar attitudes, but his signing taking this long, reminds me of the 2 times we signed Clowney. It just concerns me why he was still available.
I hope my concerns are unfounded.

I think we signed him to give the fans a new hero once Chubb went down. We needed something to rally around ... JMO, but they're going to use Kareem as a battle cry more than actual production

I hope my concerns are unfounded. I don't think anyone is paying a backup that kind of jack. Zeke signed for a shared role in New England for the same 4M, that's about as close as you'll get, and basically the same thing we're seeing here. (Zeke is 12 - 42 with a fumble btw) Hunt did exactly what I would do if I was a RB in the league, and I think he was always going to be the first signing after a team lost a marquee starter. I'm not saying that means he's in tip-top shape, just saying that him still sitting was about 80% economics and 20 everything else.

Would we pay $16 million in salary (Nick's 12 & Hunt's 4) to have Nick back right now? The NFL undervalues RBs so why is it a big deal if Nick goes down? Apparently, listening to sports media, RBs aren't worth it so just plug someone in. I watched what appeared to be Hunt missing open holes last year and seemed slower. I will say not many fights for yards like Hunt does. Hopefully it pans out.

I figured Hunt would be used sparingly today. I hope to see him get more carries next week. I still think he’s the best rB on the roster not named Chubb.

I think Ford will take on a bigger load as the season progresses…
There will be no playoffs. Can’t play with who we have out there and compounding it with garbage playcalling and worse execution. We don’t have good skill players on offense period. Browns 20 - Bears 17.

I think Ford will take on a bigger load as the season progresses… I agree. The kid is good. Some fans haven't figured it out yet, but Hunt is here as the change of pace guy. We drafted Ford to be the lead guy at some point. The point is now and he has played well. He doesn't deserve to lose reps to Hunt as lead back. At least not from what I have seen.
