The Browns and veteran RB Kareem Hunt have agreed to terms on a one-year deal. Hunt scored 23 TDs over the past four seasons in Cleveland. Now he’s back — and figures to have a lot of opportunities after Nick Chubb’s season-ending injury.

Hunt had been one of the least efficient ball carriers over the past two seasons and was no doubt a huge reason why the Browns let him walk in the first place. We are still expecting Jerome Ford to handle a vast majority of the workload, with Hunt rotating in with Strong.

Per Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com, the Browns are exploring Rams running back Cam Akers and former Cleveland running back Kareem Hunt.

Just as we posted this news item, it broke the Browns are hosting Hunt for a visit. The Browns would obviously have to give up a draft pick to get Akers. As for Hunt, he spent the last four seasons with the Browns so a reunion makes sense. He has not signed with anyone since his contract expired following last season. In late August, Hunt had reportedly received offers from four teams. But the running back was waiting for “the right offer” and didn’t sign any of them, the story went on to say. The team recently said the RB1 duties will go to Ford while Strong sits behind him on the depth chart for now.

Kareem Hunt is making a free agent visit to the Saints. With Alvin Kamara missing during his three-game suspension and Eno Benjamin suffering a torn Achilles, the team is looking for some more options.

Related Players: Jamaal Williams, Kendre Miller

The last two seasons we've seen Hunt with the ball in his hands, he's produced exceedingly inefficient rushes, so hopefully he's not chewing into Williams' role too much. As for the third-round rookie Miller, we could expect this signing to come to his detriment.

Nick Chubb says he’s definitely playing the last two games and never considered shutting it down due to his foot issue.

While Chubb says he'll play through the foot injury, it's possible the Browns will have other plans. So, this is something for owners to monitor leading up to Week 17. It's possible Hunt gets to play a larger role over the next two weeks.

The suspension also includes a $5 million donation to charity. DeShaun Watson is scheduled to return to action in Week 13 against the Houston Texans.

Watson remains borderline-undraftable in all but the deepest redraft leagues, and the entire skill position group should receive a downgrade with Jacoby Brissett in as quarterback. It's very possible that the team leans more run-heavy, which would benefit Nick Chubb, but if the offense as a whole is less efficient, that would presumably level out over the course of three-quarters of the season.

Browns RB Kareem Hunt requested a trade from the team but was told no by Cleveland.

Hunt is entering the final year of his contract and has been looking for a new deal. Hunt is set to make over $6 million this season between his base salary and roster bonus. Hunt has been sitting out drills. Hunt is coming off a season in which he missed nine games due to injuries and Covid-19. As a result, D’Ernest Johnson broke out and became a very solid RB2 behind Nick Chubb. Hunt is currently just inside the top 100 of Underdog ADP and the No. 31 RB. But his absence has meant more opportunities for Johnson. It’s shaping up to be a true committee behind Chubb.

Name to watch: Isiah Pacheco. 7th-round RB (216 pound with 4.3 speed) is lighting up camp. Got Kareem Hunt traits, a gear Hunt didn't have.

The Chiefs RB duties could be up for grabs this year as it's not a loaded backfield. The team seemed to go away from CEH at the end of last year in favor of McKinnon, although CEH is getting most of the first team work, according to reports. Pacheco is certainly a name to keep an eye on when the dust settles in KC.

Browns RB Kareem Hunt (ankle) and TE David Njoku (shoulder) are questionable for Week 18 against the Cincinnati Bengals.
