Running back Kareem Hunt will not face charges for possession of marijuana in connection with his January traffic stop, as Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal writes. The local police lieutenant did not dismiss the possibility of additional charges, but he says that’s an “unlikely” possibility. 
It’s good news for Hunt, whose status with the team was in question following the incident. In recent weeks, new GM Andrew Berry and head coach Kevin Stefanski have offered support for Hunt, indicating that they’d be willing to move forward with him if he stayed on the right path and showed remorse.
Hunt is set for restricted free agency and the Browns have some time before deciding whether to tender him and which level of the tender to use. It’s not a given that they’ll retain him, but it seems likely.When asked at the combine, Berry told reporters “that’s the anticipation right now.” At minimum, the traffic stop incident probably won’t play a major role in their decision.
“We’re looking forward to him being a member of our team,” Berry said, “provided that he and all of our players abide by our expectations.”
In a vacuum, the traffic stop doesn’t mean much. However, this slip-up raised some eyebrows given his previous history. In 2018, the Chiefs cut Hunt after a surveillance video showed him striking a woman at a hotel in Cleveland. In that same year, he also got into a physical altercation with a man in Ohio.
After serving an eight-game ban, Hunt averaged 4.2 yards per carry in a limited sample and also caught 37 passes for 285 yards. All together, he scored three all-purpose touchdowns.
Wonder how he’ll celebrate the good news
The cop was/is a browns fan,,,,fact. He let him off.
The cop who pulled him over is not the one who chose to not press charges. It was a higher-up.
Excellent use of comas.
Basically this is the Cleveland Browns saying without saying “we could care less what he does. As long as he keeps performing and makes us better.“ it is decisions like this why Cleveland has been the toilet bowl on the NFL for the better part of three decades.
The Chiefs cut him because he lied to Clark Hunt about not assaulting the female. He would of still been a Chief if he would of told the truth. How much money has he cost himself? Wow plus a Super Bowl. To end up playing for the Clowns. How much worse could it get? I guess he could play for the Giants or Jets.
Your story is once again inaccurate…story of your life mr links…you have selected one line from 3 different stories, attached it to ulrich…cant you do your own research instead of bad plagiarism
“It’s not a given that they’ll retain him, but it seems likely.”
They’ll want to access Hunt’s ability to swing a helmet at opponents before making the final decision on him.
