A spokesperson for the Cleveland Police Department said that no one at the department watched the security footage that showed former Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt kick a woman at an area hotel in February, USA Today’s A.J. Perez writes. 
Jennifer Ciaccia, the spokesperson with the department, told USA Today in an email that detectives only follow up on felonies. This case was a misdemeanor. She added that no one at the department, including the attending officers, witnessed the footage.
On Friday, video surfaced of Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt pushing a woman to the ground and kicking her while on the floor from an incident at a Cleveland hotel in February 2018. Later that day, the team made a bold move when it decided to release the 2017 Pro Bowl back.
Hunt was officially placed on waivers on Saturday, according to Howard Balzer (Twitter link). The deadline to claim the running back in Monday at 4 p.m. ET. With the move, the Chiefs are responsible for paying the back this week since the move happened after 4 p.m. on Tuesday, Joel Corry tweets. The Chiefs will not pay the final 4/17ths of his base salary of $575,250, or $153,353, and will have a cap charge of $387,976 in 2019. In terms of cap space, the Chiefs will save $135,353 in 2018, $484,762 in 2019 and $975,758 in 2020, Corry tweets.
Now the question is will anyone place a claim on him? On Tuesday, Reuben Foster was claimed by the Redskins following his release due to domestic violence issues. Washington immediately received a host of negative attention, which could keep some teams from doing the same with Hunt. While his actions deserve punishment, Hunt does not deserve banishment according to Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio. That being said, Hunt will almost assuredly be back at some point, which could lead teams to jump at the chance to grab the services of a Pro Bowl back on a rookie contract.
Florio mentions specifically the Eagles, Browns and the Redskins as potential landing spots for Hunt, should he be claimed by the Monday deadline.
Why Skins and Browns with Guice and Chubb???
Chubb Guice why Skins Browns?
the push of his buddy into her leaves some leeway as to if he attempted to hurt her, the kick puts it over the edge. regardless of the type of kick, he went for a defenseless woman on the ground. i heard she may have used racial slurs, but regardless you don’t show aggression toward a woman, let alone a defenseless woman on the ground & you have to be cognitive of the current day settings where everything is on video, you have no room for error and can’t lie about what happened and expect to get away with it. not excusing her possible racial slurs, but you have to be aware of what you have to lose by your actions. sad all around.
Hareem KUNT
I see what you did there. Well played, well played
I see a bright future ahead for this witty comedy writer.
Well done
This is the type of a situation that will destroy the season KC was having. They will not be playing any later than the divisional round
KC lost Hunt not Mahomes
It was a the big 3 that made that engine go. Hill, Hunt, Mahomes.
Kelce??
Thugs like him just keep getting in trouble, not worth wasting the investment
It’s clearly inexcusable behavior regardless, but none of us were there. We don’t know what might have been done or said leading up to the altercation.
Personally, I’m chosen to reserve judgment until I have a clearer picture of the underlying circumstances…
For all we know, she could have just threatened to kill him, could have been making other verbal threats.
Like I said, obviously Hunt is in the wrong, but none of us know what was said or happened leading up to the video. To make judgment without knowing the pretext is simply ignorant..
I posted a comment which the site deleted. So much for free speech. Little brother is watching. Tragic.
Yet they’ll leave the “hey I made $1800 in a day” spam ads up for hours sometimes days at a time
