Browns stay silent at trade deadline, Kareem Hunt remains in Cleveland

The Browns stood pat at the trade deadline, holding on to Kareem Hunt

According to PFF’s Ari Meirov, the Cleveland Browns stood pat at the trade deadline and did not make a move. This includes the swirling rumors around running back Kareem Hunt, who now remains in Cleveland for the last nine games of his contract. Meirov also reports the Browns were looking for a fourth round pick, but Hunt will now contribute toward a compensatory pick when he signs elsewhere this offseason.

Coming off of a win against the Cincinnati Bengals, and now sitting at 2-1 in the division, the Browns may feel like they are in a position to compete again in 2022. Entering their bye week on a high note, the Browns will likely need to win two of their next three to stay in the running for an AFC North title and wildcard contention.

Coming off of a game with 15 touches against the Bengals, Hunt may remain in the plans of the Cleveland offense after all.

Browns continue to get calls on Kareem Hunt as trade deadline nears

The Browns continue to field calls for running back Kareem Hunt but “won’t be giving him away for nothing.”

As the trade deadline races to a conclusion in just over an hour, the Cleveland Browns continue to field phone calls on running back Kareem Hunt. According to The OBR’s Brad Stainbrook, the phone lines are active, but the Browns “won’t be giving him away for nothing.”

Earlier today, Josina Anderson reported the Browns prefer to keep Hunt as well, meaning they have a price in mind. If they are not offered that price, then expect Hunt to play out the last nine games of his contract in an orange and brown uniform.

The NFL has been active today, and with the 4 PM EST deadline looming, more moves are sure to be made. Will Hunt be one of them?

Browns ‘prefer to keep Kareem Hunt’ as trade deadline approaches

As the trade deadline approaches, the Browns do not have any big plans. That includes the rumors surrounding Kareem Hunt.

As the trade deadline is set to strike at 4 PM Eastern Standard Time today, the Cleveland Browns are not expected to be heavy participants. The one name that has circulated a great deal in trade rumors, however, has been running back Kareem Hunt. With just nine games left on his contract, the Browns have been actively listening to offers on Hunt.

However, according to Josina Anderson today, the Browns “prefer to keep Kareem Hunt” with five hours to go until the deadline. Hunt’s touches went back up to 15 in their win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football, and the Browns likely do not risk an injury on a significant amount of snaps if they intended to trade him.

They could still get an offer that exceeds the value of a nine-game rental of a running back, however. For now, it looks like the Browns will breeze past the trade deadline without much activity.

Report: Browns and Rams have had talks around RB Kareem Hunt

The Browns and the Los Angeles Rams have had discussions surrounding running back Kareem Hunt.

It has been no secret this week that the Cleveland Browns have been open to trading away running back Kareem Hunt. According to Brad Stainbrook of The OBR, the Los Angeles Rams have had talks with the Browns surrounding the former rushing champion. It was also reported earlier this week by ESPN that the Browns are looking for a fourth round pick in return.

After missing out on Christian McCaffrey, it seemed obvious they would call the Browns next as they look for an upgrade at the running back position. With just 10 games left on his contract (nine if he is not traded before Monday night), and after requesting a trade this Summer, the Browns will be looking to recoup an asset for a player that will almost certainly walk in free agency to a team with a starting job.

With one team looking to get back to the Super Bowl, and the other looking to recover draft assets after a blockbuster trade over the summer, the Rams and Browns may just be a match made in Heaven.

4 teams who could call Browns about Kareem Hunt trade

The Browns are reportedly shopping Kareem Hunt. What teams could find interest in the former rushing title holder?

The Cleveland Browns are reportedly looking to move the expiring contract of running back Kareem Hunt before the November 1 trade deadline. After requesting a trade this summer, the former NFL rushing champion may finally get his wish to maximize his potential in a contract year.

Sitting at 2-5 on the season, some recouped draft assets and some extra rollover cash are more valuable to this Browns football team than a change-of-pace back. Trading Hunt would not force the Browns to eat any dead money either, so getting a pick out of a player who will not be on the roster next season anyway is a no-brainer for general manager Andrew Berry.

As the Browns look for a trade partner, who could be at the top of the list of teams to call?

The Browns are listening to trade calls on Kareem Hunt after their 2-5 start

The NFL trade deadline is vastly approaching in six days, and it appears the Cleveland Browns are in the mood to shop some of their expiring contracts. According to The OBR’s Brad Stainbrook, the Browns are actively listening to trade offers on running back Kareem Hunt.

Over the past two games, Hunt has seen just 10 total touches. After averaging 15 touches in the first five games of the season, this is a dramatic decrease. Requesting a trade this summer, Hunt may finally get his wish to maximize his abilities in a contract season. There is likely a contending team out there willing to overpay for a running back as talented as Hunt.
