Kareem Hunt 'Not Frustrated at All' over Quiet FA Market: 'I'm Just Being Patient'

One month away from the start of training camps across the NFL, Kareem Hunt isn't concerned that he's gone unsigned this late into the offseason.

Speaking to reporters at his football camp in Ohio, Hunt explained he's "not frustrated at all" and "just being patient" as he waits to find a team.

"It's going to work itself out," the 27-year-old running back said. "Right now I'm just here to enjoy time with my family and show these kids a good time at this football camp. I know it's all going to work out at the end of the day."

Hunt spent the past four seasons with the Cleveland Browns, sharing a workload with Nick Chubb. He began his career with the Kansas City Chiefs as a third-round draft pick in 2017.

The Toledo alum led the NFL with 1,327 rushing yards as a rookie.

He was released by the Chiefs in November 2018 after TMZ Sports posted surveillance footage that showed Hunt shoving and kicking a woman at a hotel in Cleveland in February 2018.

Per TMZ, the Chiefs said he "was not truthful" when asked about it by several members of team management during their internal investigation into the situation before the video came to light.

The Browns signed Hunt in February 2019. He was suspended without pay for the first eight games of the season for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy stemming from his actions in the Cleveland hotel and a separate altercation in which he allegedly punched a man, who did not press charges, at an Ohio resort in June 2018.

Hunt was never also charged for his actions in the hotel because the woman didn't pursue charges.

In her June 18 mailbag column for Cleveland.com, Mary Kay Cabot ruled out a reunion between Hunt and the Browns.

"I do think the Browns will add another running back before the season, but it won't be a big-name back such as a Dalvin Cook or Ezekiel Elliott, and they won't re-sign Kareem Hunt," she wrote.

The market has been quiet for Hunt so far this offseason, though CBS Sports' Josina Anderson reported last week the Washington Commanders have "quietly been making some preliminary inquiries" into the former Pro Bowler.

Hunt appeared in all 17 games for the Browns last season. He averaged a career-low 3.8 yards per attempt on 123 carries.
