The Facts: Kansas City is releasing Hunt, the team announced Friday evening. "Earlier this year, we were made aware of an incident involving running back Kareem Hunt," the team said in a statement. "At that time, the National Football League and law enforcement initiated investigations into the issue. As part of our internal discussions with Kareem, several members of our management team spoke directly to him. Kareem was not truthful in those discussions. The video released today confirms that fact. We are releasing Kareem immediately."
Diehards Line:Hunt was placed on the Reserve/Commissioner Exempt List by the NFL after a video showing Hunt shoving and kicking a woman in a February incident at a Cleveland hotel was published Friday. The Chiefs followed by releasing Hunt less than an hour later. Spencer Ware takes over as the team's lead back.
