The Facts: Hunt's grateful to have a chance to help the Browns this season, after his offseason traffic stop during which he told a cop he wouldn’t pass a drug test. Hunt said Monday he was “lucky and blessed” to still be part of the team.
Diehards Line:
Even though Hunt wasn’t charged with anything after stop, Browns owner Jimmy Haslam said Hunt’s actions were “not acceptable.” He was suspended the first eight games of last season for a pair of physical altercations, including one with a woman. He’s recently talked about being willing to fill whatever role the Browns have in mind, since Nick Chubb gives them a very good backfield option. But they signed Hunt to the second-round restricted free agent tender of $3.27 million this season, and he hopes to pay them back for that loyalty. “I think we can do something special here,” Hunt said. “Nothing would be better than that.”
