The Cleveland Browns suffered a double blow last Monday Night Football, because in the loss against the Pittsburgh Steelers, they also lost their star running back Nick Chubbwhich is why they have had to resort to free agency to acquire Kareem Hunt.
Browns contratan a Kareem Hunt
It was during the second quarter where the Browns were in the red zone, when Nick Chubb, NFL All-Pro, twisted his knee and suffered a spectacular injury that forced him to leave Acrisure Stadium on the cart of misfortunes. .
This Tuesday, head coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed the fateful injury and that the running back would not return, which is why they would have to hire another player to replace him.
A few hours ago the rumor arose, but according to Adam Schefter, Kareem Hunt reached an agreement with the board to sign for one year and 4 million dollars, although further details of the contract were not released.
It should be remembered that Hunt began his career in 2017 with the Kansas City Chiefs and his rookie season was his best with 1,327 yards; Although it was in the 2019 campaign that he signed with Cleveland and, in four years, he achieved 1,874 yards on the ground, averaging 4.2 yards and 16 touchdowns; while through the air he had 132 receptions and 973 yards.
The University of Toledo graduate asked for a million-dollar contract renewal, but because the AFC North franchise had Chubb, he did not want to give it to him and thus he became a free agent; In the summer the running back had talks with the Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints, but he could not reach an agreement and remained a free agent until this Wednesday.
Next Browns game
Cleveland will return home next Sunday, September 24, hosting the Tennessee Titans, where Jerome Ford, in his second year, will be the starter for this commitment, but will be backed up by the now seventh-year player, Hunt.
