[Name Only Title] Kareem Hunt ??????????????????

We're the best team in the league without having to employ scumbags. 

Yes, I want to win a championship, but, no, I don't think Hunt is worth that bit of difference he would give us. If he's truly remorseful for what he did and has gone out of his way to express that and change, then maybe... But most bad people don't change and apologies are lip service.

 

Let's win it all with good people like Von and Josh and all the rest.

No problem...Here is why I hate it when people just share the video and don't discuss the context of what actually happened.

  • The woman was causing a lot of problems in the room before they entered the hallway with all the people in the room with Hunt, including the girls.  
  • They repeatedly asked her to leave while inside the room and she refused. 
  • Eventually they got her into the hallway where Hunt was pleading with her to just leave already, nobody wanted her there, she still refused.
  • At this point she called him the N word which was what caused Hunt to react so poorly.  You can see the exact moment it happens in the video too where he is first calm and just pleading for her to just leave and even has his hands together like in a prayer motion.  Then he see the moment she calls a N word he immediately gets upset. 
  • The women refusing to leave also were instigating contact and a guy in Hunts group got shoved and fell into the girl which is what initially knocked her down.  
  • Hunt compounds his poor reaction and mistake by giving her a light kick on her butt in a shoving motion to push her further away to leave.  I mean the kick was less impactful than parents spanking a child, it wasn't some huge act of violence like people exaggerate it to be.

I do NOT condone being physical with women.  Hunt was 100% in the wrong on how he chose to react.  But man, this incident keeps getting retold incorrectly and over sensationalizes what Hunt actually did from a physical stand point and totally ignores any responsibility the woman played in this incident of being the initial trouble causer and instigator.  

 

This is not like when Ray Rice hit his girlfriend in an elevator.  Hunt made a mistake, but its no where near the level people like to say it is.  And he wasn't a guy with prior off field issues and he has done all that was asked of him since then, did all the courses, and cleaned up his act.

 

People make mistakes...he was a young guy who put himself in a bad position from the get go then reacted badly to being called the N word by a person who was already causing problems and refusing to leave.  

 

But he atoned for his mistake and was given a second chance and has done everything right in Cleveland with it so far.  I think this incident is behind him, something he grew from and not indicative of his character of who he is today.  And all you hear from those around him is praise ever since.  

Well said Alpha, I couldn't agree more.  Before I actually watched the video, all I was hearing is "Oh Hunt kicked a female." Like you said, I absolutely don't condone hitting women, but his case was overblown if you ask me.  I've seen harder kicks at my 10 year old niece's Ju jitsu class.

 

I would absolutely be happy with Hunt being brought in to pair with Singletary for the right price.  A 2nd?  Not so much only because we just spent one on Cook, and I still believe we haven't seen his best football of the season by a long shot.  I would be okay with a 4th, and perhaps a 3rd...

I don't want Hunt because I don't want a man on our team that has physically beaten a woman.  I understand that Hunt has served his 8-game suspension for his mistakes and that at some point he gets forgiveness and is free to return and play football.  I just prefer that guys like Hunt and Tyreek Hill, if they are allowed to play football, I am cheering against them and not for them.

 

I understand that Hunt would upgrade our RB2 (possibly RB1), but I like cheering for people that I like both on and off the field and our current Bills roster let's me do that every week.

 

This is just one guy's opinion... you are welcome to your own.

Agreed. I don't think we need to have a bunch of choir boys, but let's draw the line at women beaters, at least. Hunt is a player I would never want anywhere close to my team. He should be in jail, not on the field. I would struggle with that if Beane brought him in.

Lol.  He’s a FA-  no way any sane GM gives up a 2nd or a 3rd for him imo.  4th is a bit steep.  5th is about right.  6th is what I’d trade 

Agreed. I think a 5th would get it done and I’d hold firm there, but a 6th would be better. Also I know everyone loves to talk about comp picks.  We’d likely net a late one down the line if we didn’t re-sign him.
