Report: Browns would deal RB Kareem Hunt for a fourth-round pick
Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt have been one of the top running back duos in the NFL over the past few years, but is it time for a breakup?
According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler and Dan Graziano, Hunt can be acquired for a fourth-round pick ahead of the Nov. 1 trade deadline, and the "Browns are listening" to offers.
A trade may be dependent on how the Browns (2-5) fare Monday night against the Bengals (4-3). Hunt is playing on an expiring contract.
The 27-year-old running back was a lead back in 2017 and 2018, when he played for Kansas City. He had a combined 453 rushes for 2,151 yards and 15 touchdowns as a Chief, per NFL.com.
Hunt has had issues off the field, including domestic violence from his time with the Chiefs.
Cleveland also has RB D'Ernest Johnson waiting in the wings. Johnson doesn't have a carry this season after breaking out with 534 rushing yards and three touchdowns a season ago.
The Browns have four games to play before suspended QB Deshaun Watson's return in Week 13. Can they win enough to stay in the AFC North race or should they sell Hunt and look toward 2023?
