I keep seeing comments about Hunt potentially being dealt this offseason. Even though I've read Cleveland has enough cap space that they don't need to dump him, I can understand why they would if they think their depth can step up.
Leaving aside whether a team would deal for him at this time of the off/pre season, what teams would be reasonable options to get him? I 'm not particularly enthused about my ideas- Carolina (if CMC is injured), NYG (if Barkley is unavailable), TB, NO (Kamara suspension?), Buffalo, SF.
One of the best fits I saw floated was the Eagles, due to Hunt absolutely smashing from a metrics perspective whenever he runs from the Gun. Incidentally, that's what the Jalen Hurts offence largely consists of - and no doubt he'd be amazing running with a dual threat like Jalen behind THAT offensive line.
It's not a Cap Space issue re. Hunt, btw. It's literally roster crunch - the question is how many RB's they're going to keep from the six (!) currently on the roster. Demetric Felton Jr. plays special teams and has shown well in the passing game. John Kelly is probably a cut. Jerome Ford was just acquired with a 4th round pick.
That's why the other name being floated in just as many blurbs is D'ernest Johnson, who ran really well when he got the opportunity last year and has by far the most team-friendly/attractive deal in that RB room from a Cap perspective. The Browns will likely look to be sharp by dealing one of these guys to the team that first suffers a training camp RB injury, is what we're guessing. And hence the blurbs.
The Philly scheme fit isn't an angle I'd considered, but wouldn't they just be crowding there roster? Hunt, Sanders, Gainwell, Scott and K Brooks is looks plenty/too deep, and that assumes J Huntley isn't on the active roster.
If you were a team looking for RB help, and factoring in contracts, would you prefer Hunt or D Johnson?
ericanadian, I like the KC idea. I wonder if there'd be local push back on bringing him back. But, I do see the logic- would eliminate doubt about having to rely on a shaky platoon. Same logic as the Tampa idea, and the added bonus of him going to another conference.
