I don't want Hunt, but just curious, if Hunt had assaulted a man that was harassing him with racial slurs, would anyone here even give a fuck?
Nope. Probably would have been cheered for it to be honest.
He assaulted a woman, and this was his second chance, because he had messed up like this previously.Low risk/high reward/PR hit
I'm never disappointed in these type of signings, because young adults/people in general should get another chance. Life is all about second chances!
Joe Mixon decked a girl clear in the head, how many games did he get? He's still running for the Bengals. Kareem deserves another shot
There's a bridge between "redeemable" and "getting paid 7 figures to play football right away".
I thought Michael Vick was redeemable. He spent a year and a half in jail, and was able to go back to playing. He paid his debt, then was able to go back to work.
Now, maybe you're onto something and there is ample evidence that he's been reformed. But it seems really quick for him all of a sudden to be forgiven.
Chronologically, this was actually the first (known) Hunt altercation of the calendar year, taking place in the hours after the Chiefs’ Jan. 6 playoff loss to the Titans. A month later, Hunt attacked a woman in video that is now public, resulting in his being placed on the Commissioner Exempt List.
There is also a third incident, from June, that the NFL is investigating, in which the 23-year-old is accused of punching a man in the face at an Ohio resort.

3 incidents in a year.
Anytime you have the chance to sign a player that is undergoing alcohol and anger management classes you just gotta do it.
What he did was very wrong. This is a low risk/ high reward deal. If you can redeem the person, you have a great backfield with him and Chubb. Move Duke to slot receiver, or possibly trade him on draft day.
