The Browns Are Not Interested In Trading Kareem Hunt As They Seek An Extension. Rb Returns To Team Drills

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt is seeking a contract extension, and after not seeing his request fulfilled yet, it looks like he’s now trying to put pressure on the franchise. Hunt had attended team drills but participated on Sunday. CBS Sports NFL Insider Jonathan Jones confirmed that the Browns currently have no interest in trading Hunt after Cleveland.com reported that the running back requested a trade. This news comes after CBS Sports NFL Insider Josina Anderson reported Saturday that Hunt did not participate in team drills for the second straight practice. Hunt had informed the team that this was his plan going forward, before Sunday’s race. Anderson reports that Hunt’s “holding” is not believed to be health-related and that he is subject to fines from the Browns. Hunt has also reportedly told Browns officials off the record that he wants to be paid or traded, but a source told Anderson that Hunt would prefer to stay in Cleveland. “Right now I’m taking it day by day, man,” Hunt said at minicamp in June. “I’ll see what they want to do with me and I’m just taking it day by day. Hopefully I can be here long term. We’ll see what God has in the plan for me, that’s all I can say.” Hunt has one year remaining on the two-year extension he signed in 2020, which pays him $1.35 million in base salary and $6.25 million in annual cash, per Spotrac. The former Pro Bowler and 2017 NFL rushing yards leader played in just eight games for Cleveland last year due to a calf injury. Hunt’s best campaign with Cleveland came in 2020, as he posted 1,145 yards from scrimmage and 11 total touchdowns. The Browns would like to keep their dynamic running back duo of Hunt and Nick Chubb, but it remains to be seen if they will extend their return before the start of the 2022 season.
