Kareem Hunt Signs With The Browns

Kareem Hunt Signs With The Browns

one year ago

The Cleveland Browns have signed running back Kareem Hunt to a one-year, $4 million contract. Hunt is no stranger to Cleveland as the 28-year-old spent the previous four seasons with the Browns before the team let him hit free agency last offseason. Even though he was unable to sign on with another team, he fits in well in Cleveland due to his familiarity with the offense. In the wake of Nick Chubb's (knee) season-ending injury, head coach Kevin Stefanski believes Jerome Ford will lead the backfield so Hunt will likely take on a secondary role. It could take some time for Hunt to get back into game shape but he could be valuable in the passing game. He's totaled 211 catches for 1806 yards (8.6 YPC) over his six-year career between the Chiefs and the Browns. Hunt should be rostered in all 12-team formats for now but fantasy managers should take a wait-and-see approach before inserting him into their starting lineups so they can gauge his usage.
