Whatever, I guess you can wait if you want to. I see no reason to lose sleep over it. He's not going to be available for the Browns one way or the other.
I was already a big proponent of drafting a RB anyway. This just seals the need for it to me. Hell, it might mean they need to make a meaningful draft pick investment, although Stefanski has had a lot of success finding guys who are under utilized and over looked this past year.
You have a point but I think we should not take for granted that the Browns can simply draft a guy in the mid-rounds that will be as good as Hunt.
While it is true that KC produces great RBs like a factory, people should also keep in mind that he beat out some good competition over there for a reason, and that he played exceptionally well for the Browns.
A good hands, solid route-running RB that can also power run between the numbers and block aren't exactly common in the NFL.
If Chubb got hurt tomorrow (God forbid), Hunt would seamlessly fit right in and have a Pro Bowl year.
Frankly, weed violations are not what they used to be, he wasn't even charged and unless there is absolute proof he was drinking behind the wheel or something, there is no reason to cut him loose. Put him in the program if necessary, but banking on a 3rd or 4th Round draft pick to perform as well is asking for trouble.
If he screws up again fine, cut him, but his skill-set demands another chance; particularly since he isn't even in trouble for this.
If rookie running backs were a gimme, every team would have a Pro Bowl RB.
