Kareem Hunt: Cleveland Browns RB discusses 'long-term' future over expiring contract

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt has been talking about his future with the organisation ahead of the 2022 NFL season. 

The Cleveland Browns are certainly going through something of a chaotic offseason this time around, as not only do they have to deal with the controversy that is surrounding presumed starting quarterback Deshaun Watson and his accusations of sexual misconduct, they are struggling to get rid of last season’s starter Baker Mayfield despite reports that there are teams out there who are willing to bring him on board. 

And beyond the quarterback spot, there was the recent injury scare surrounding star cornerback Denzel Ward. All of this whilst trying to put together a roster that can help them to compete in the AFC North once again after finishing 8-9 in 2020. 

The last thing that they need is to be fretting over the long-term future of one of their key offensive weapons, but that’s the situation surrounding Kareem Hunt as he gets ready to enter the 2022 season.

Part of the success behind the Browns’ recent rise to prominence in the league has been the success of their run game, headed up by the duo of Hunt and Nick Chubb in the backfield, especially in 2020 when Chubb ran for 1,041 yards on 190 carries, whilst Hunt bagged 841 on 198.
