Kareem Hunt won’t be charged with marijuana possession from his January traffic stop

Browns RB Kareem Hunt won’t be charged with marijuana possession from his January traffic stop according to Rocky River police

Browns running back Kareem Hunt can breathe a sigh of relief. Hunt will not be charged with marijuana possession stemming from his traffic stop in Rocky River in January, according to police.

Rocky River PD public information officer George Lichman made the pronouncement in an email via the Akron Beacon-Journal on Monday.

“We will not be pursuing charges of marijuana possession against Kareem Hunt,” Lichman said in the email.

Hunt had a small amount of marijuana in his car when he was pulled over on I-90 for speeding in the western suburbs. The officer who pulled him over noted it, and Hunt tearfully admitted it could be a problem for his career.

Hunt is a pending restricted free agent and the Browns need to decide what level of tender offer to make to him. Not having a lingering drug citation hanging over his head can only help Hunt’s case to remain with his hometown Browns.

Report: Browns were not going to re-sign Greg Robinson even before his arrest

As the team’s primary left tackle the last two seasons, Robinson was a consistently underwhelming presence

Greg Robinson is no longer a member of the Cleveland Browns. His contract was set to expire at the end of the NFL league year, making the burly left tackle a pending free agent.

After his arrest this week on federal charges of marijuana possession with intent to distribute, Robinson almost certainly has no future with any NFL team. But according to a report from NFL.com’s Tom Pelissero, the Browns were not planning on even trying to bring Robinson back regardless of his arrest. Cleveland.com also reported that Robinson had already been told by the Browns that he was not in their plans for 2020.

Robinson and his Auburn teammate, NFL free agent Quan Bray, face up to 20 years in federal prison if convicted of all charges. Border patrol agents busted the duo with 156.9 pounds of marijuana at a Mexican border crossing near El Paso, Texas on Monday.

As the team’s primary left tackle the last two seasons, Robinson was a consistently underwhelming presence. He struggled with speed on the edge and proved a poor run blocker, issues that plagued him since he began his NFL career with the Rams as the No. 2 overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft.

Browns LT Greg Robinson arrested on marijuana charges

Robinson is set to be a free agent

Cleveland Browns left tackle Greg Robinson has been arrested at a U.S. border checkpoint in possession of “a bunch” of marijuana, per TMZ Sports. The report has been confirmed by the AP, via ESPN.

According to the report, Robinson was detained at the Sierra Blanca border checkpoint on the Mexican/American border on Monday. While the exact quantity of marijuana in Robinson’s possession is unknown, he faces federal charges of possession with intent to distribute. The report from TMZ indicates Robinson remains in custody.

Robinson is currently a free agent after spending the last two seasons as the primary starting left tackle for Cleveland. His return to the Browns was in doubt after his uneven performance in 2018.
