FlightBoyz Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Hunt is obviously a talented back. Only 23 years old. Perfect RB to pair with Sam & will cost next to nothing. But the baggage is there. Dont know how things will shake out legally & could face suspension. Is he worth a look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

14 in Green Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I'd take him in a second, but two things concern me. Will you know how long his suspension will be before you sign him? The other is I think he's now a UFA, since no team claimed him this past season. If he is, and there are teams willing to take the publicity hit, won't he be almost as expensive as Bell considering his age and talent?

Popular Post BroadwayRay Posted January 19, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 19, 2019 If he's getting the mental help he apparently needs, why not? He'll be much cheaper than Bell, he's younger and he's really good. The suspension is meaningless if he cleans up his act and he works out. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwayJoe12 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 If properly vetted and the FO feels it's unlikely to recur, sure. If he serves his suspension and the league says he can work, I have no issues with him playing here. We've weathered the storm with signing Vick and others, wouldn't be the first. I think equally as little, maybe less, about Roethlisberger, but would have enjoyed watching him win superbowls here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joewilly12 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 The NY Jets formula that they've been using for the last 50 years hasn't worked out too well. This kid made a terrible mistake and will live with it the rest of his life. We need a RB and he needs a second chance. Hunt and Bell superstar RB's with baggage the choice is deal with or not. The decision is in the NY Jets organizations hands. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New York Mick Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Absolutely without even thinking about it. We’ve been going back and forth about it in the WR thread. He’s a top 3 RB, is young, will be on his best behavior and sign for cheap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J_Smith Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 If he has attended counseling and accepts whatever punishment the nfl hands down, i say take him. I’m curious if he’ll get some sort of “time served” deal, since he was cut during the season and the team is still playing. I think it’s a total of 6 games he has missed? plus, we could probably get him on a relatively cheap, short term deal. Even $8-10M is a bargain for him. He’ll play like an animal while he tries to maximize his value for another contract in his mid 20s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Lith Posted January 20, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 20, 2019 I get it. The guy is an enormous talent. I loved him coming out of college. And now he could be available cheap. But no. I don't want him. According to reports, the Chiefs were aware of multiple off field issues when they finally released him. The Chiefs released him during a season when they have Championship aspirations--that says something about the guy. He was also suspended in college at Toledo. He is on the Exempt list. I want to win football games as much as anyone on this site. I would rather see us do it without Kareem Hunt. No. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenseed4 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I don’t support violence, and I saw the film. What he did was stupid, but he was hardly the only person at fault in that incident. The most violent act in that scene was when he pushed another man who fell into the woman causing her to collide with a wall. The “kick” was a laughable butt tap causing her to topple. Judging by her continued pursuit to get in his face, I’d say she was looking for a payout or saying some really nasty things that would cause ANY 23 yo person (especially if intoxicated) to act the way he did. We should sign this beast for short money and laugh our way to the playoffs. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bla bla bla Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 If I were the NFL I'd do this: 1) Force Hunt to do XX amount of hours working with battered women 2) Hunt should come out and offer to donate to one of these organizations The NFL has a terrible image with these issues, use this as an opportunity to get a star back into the league while bringing active awareness to domestic violence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
