On Friday, the Kansas City Chiefs released running back Kareem Hunt after video of his February domestic violence incident became available. A 2017 draft pick, Hunt took Spencer Ware’s job in his rookie season after the latter was lost to injury and never looked back. The next season, his fellow 2017 draft pick Patrick Mahomes became the Chiefs’ starting quarterback and the two helped fuel one of the better offenses this year.
Needless to say, Kareem Hunt’s release hurts from a talent perspective. The Chiefs have Ware who was projected for a big 2017 until his injury and now he can finally reclaim his role.
