There was some question as to whether or not the Cleveland Browns would move forward working with pending restricted free agent running back Kareem Hunt, whom the team signed to a one-year contract in 2019, despite knowing that he would be imminently facing a long suspension.
He ultimately served an eight-game suspension and returned to play the second half of the season as the number two running back behind Nick Chubb, who earned a Pro Bowl nod for his performance during the year. Hunt was a Pro Bowler himself as a rookie in 2017 before a viral video of himself pushing and kicking a woman was released, which prompted the Kansas City Chiefs to release him in the middle of the 2018 season.
