The Browns made headlines a few weeks back when they signed troubled running back Kareem Hunt to a one-year deal. It was a surprising move given Hunt’s involvement in a physical altercation with a woman last February at a Cleveland hotel.
Beyond that, the Browns already have a solid backfield one-two punch in Nick Chubb and Duke Johnson so the position wasn’t exactly a need.
With a crowded running back depth chart, other teams taken notice of the Browns embarrassment of riches at the position. According to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com at least three teams are believed to be interested in trading for Johnson with more likely to surface in the coming weeks.
