slats Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 This is the guy I'd go after 10 times before Bell. He'll be just 24-years-old at the start of next season. Every bit as dynamic as Bell without the weed suspensions. His market will be limited, and he should come for much less money, too. NFL expected to suspend Kareem Hunt but allow him to return in 2019 Posted by Michael David Smith on January 20, 2019, 7:12 AM EST Getty Images Free agent running back Kareem Hunt is expected to be back on the field some time during the 2019 season. Hunt will surely be suspended to start the 2019 season, but he is expected to learn the length of his suspension before the start of the league year, and he is likely to be allowed back during the 2019 season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. The start of the league year, when free agency begins, actually isn’t particularly relevant to Hunt, who is a free agent right now. Free agency only begins in March for players whose contracts have expired, not for players who were released, as Hunt was by the Chiefs after video of him assaulting a woman surfaced. Hunt will surely have suitors. The Bears have already said they’d consider signing him, and they won’t be the only team interested. In fact, it’s possible that Hunt will come out ahead financially, given that he was under contract for a very affordable $677,000 in 2019 under his rookie deal. Hunt is likely to get multiple free agent offers, all from teams that assure the public they’re deeply concerned about Hunt’s actions, while also acknowledging that they’re willing to pay him to help them win on Sundays.

32EBoozer Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Bears have the inside track with Nagy. Howard is the starting back along with Cohen. Jets could be a good fit in many ways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetster Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Either way I'd be happy! Hunt is younger/cheaper, but I've said this before, it's NOT MY MONEY! We've got plenty & if I'm sitting down to watch the Jets 2019 opener in their super cool new uniforms & Le'veon Bell is lined up in the backfield & Matt Paradis is hiking the ball to just turned 22 year old Sam Darnold, I'd think I'd died & gone to heaven.

bealeb319 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I don't think this kid is going to be highly discounted I believe he will sign a fair contract (yes much cheaper than bell but also with a much smaller collection of nfl film) we should absolutely inquire and see what he is looking for and maybe even "overpay" to get him here but we should avoid getting into a bidding war with other teams and should avoid letting this guy try to nickle and some us for a major contract. The other thing we can not afford to do is allow more important positions to get signed while we are caught talking to a rb our major focus should be on pass rush and offensive line in free agency so that we can go into the draft with the ability to draft bpa (even if we don't actually do it or if we move down)Sent from my LGUS991 using JetNation.com mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bell passed on $14M because he wants more. Good for him, let someone else pay him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry McCockinner Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 So the league has decided he's fair game. Teams shouldn't have a second thought if they think he helps them win. We are in desperate need of play makers. Sign him to a show me contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a real thing. I've got nothing against the drug -at all- but I do have a problem with players who can't get on the field due to being suspended.

I don’t have a problem if you want to ding Bell because he has off-field issues that could impact his on-field availability.

NFL expected to suspend Kareem Hunt but allow him to return in 2019 LOL @ "w/out the weed suspensions". Like repeated domestic violence plus flat out lying through your teeth right to the faces of your Head Coach and GM in a private meeting is any better. Yes he'll be cheaper and he's younger, but let's not pretend that this guy won't bring trouble with him. You just know there will be another domestic violence accusation down the road and we have no idea how long his 2019 suspension will be. It could be most of the season. It will not be less than 6 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather bring one of them in even if its for one season than hope one of the RB's we pick in the third round plays as well as they can or pickup someone like Spencer "I tripped over my helmet and I'm out for 4 week" Ware.

I think it’s sort of naive to have the default assumption be that what was caught on camera wasn’t representative. Somebody gets a DUI and you want to chalk that up as an isolated, worst day in his life kind of thing, okay. I don’t agree but I can see it. Something like this? If you do it, you’re the kind of person who does it. Until and unless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christ... just talk like a normal human without the constant added hyperbole, which you always add to your arguments. Newsflash: your constant exaggerations and hyperbole are useless and unpersuasive. No one is making Hunt out to be a serial murderer. But he is a liar. He lied right to the faces of his HC and GM. And no one is making Bell out to be choir boy either. What the hell is it wrong with you? Frankly, I'd be fine passing on both of them. As for talent, they are both very talented. I trust Bell's talent more due to his longer and consistent body of work. But Hunt would be great too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
