Alphadawg7 Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 (edited) No shock to me, I was pretty sure he would be back in 2019. NFL investigation expected to conclude in March and likely suspended for some games to start season. Chicago and has already openly said they haven’t ruled out signing him and Nagy coached him a year in KC and has stayed in contact with him. If he’s got multiple suitors, I think he likely signs somewhere with a less crowded backfield than Chicago though. I know its a divided TSW on this, so do you hope Beane tries to sign him or hope we stay away? https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2816700-kareem-hunt-rumors-rb-expected-to-sign-with-team-sooner-rather-than-later UPDATE 2/11/19 - SIGNED BY BROWNS Edited February 11, 2019 by Alphadawg7
LSHMEAB Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 (edited) I'd be fine with it. Not a big fan of writing guys off. Bonus; he'd help the football team. I didn't find the video particularly egregious. Charges were warranted yet not pursued, but it was a forgivable offense IMO. If Nagy wants him, the Bills should probably want him too.

freddyjj Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 Voted no. As we have a female CEO don’t see how this signing could fly as sends the wrong message to female fans. 6

GunnerBill Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 If it was just that incident with Hunt I'd be tempted to take a flier. But when you look into him there are lots of other stories and rumoured stories. I think you would sign him then be constantly worried about what comes out next. 1
apuszczalowski Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 Why not, all he did was hit/beat woman, he is good at playing a game and most important, he stands for the national anthem. 2 7
PlayoffsPlease Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 I am not a big fan of employers acting as law enforcement , even the NFL. These events happened outside the NFL, and to me are a matter for law enforcement to deal with as it sees fit. 7

I would do my due diligence. If this incident was out of character and I could reasonably believe he understood that it was completely unacceptable I would aggressively pursue him. Otherwise I wouldn't touch him with a barge pole. 2 1
H2o Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 (edited) No. There are other options for us. I am not worried about how his talent level is viewed or what he could do for the team. At some point personal integrity and character have to count for something. I still feel he's only sorry because he got caught. There are guys that are talented who will make an impact in this league and for our team, but are better men than him. Just my 2. Edited January 20, 2019 by H2o 3 1

I get it if people aren’t interested, however your recap of the event feels to be quite a stretch of the facts considering he neither hit nor beat her. 4
Just Joshin' Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 I voted yes but really wanted a maybe option. I would like to know more: 1. What are the results of the NFL investigation into the 3 incidences? 2. What does he say and how will he move forward? 3. What contract clauses is he willing to adopt? 1

Yeah I had more choices at first, but ultimately wanted a more cut and dry yes/no answer to inspire more discussion on those who wanted to expand on the answers.

I think people enjoy riding that high horse as opposed to dealing with facts or nuance. Like a hero complex. He was shooing away a drunk woman and DID unnecessarily make contact with her. Banished for life I tell ya! He should never work again! 1 1

If she hit him for example, should she be fired from her job and banned from employment elsewhere. Or do you mean if Hunt had hit a man, he should be similarly banned? Because from what I have read a lot of NFL guys hit other guys and there are no repercussions.
