One major domino has already fallen at the running back position with respect to trades, and another one could soon follow. Browns veteran Kareem Hunt is expected to be on the move between now and the trade deadline, and a potential suitor for him has been identified. 
Ralph Vacchiano of FOX Sports tweets that the Eagles are a team to watch with respect to acquiring Hunt. Doing so, it is now believed, will cost a fourth-round pick. That would allow the Browns to receive some form of compensation prior to the league year (when Hunt will be a free agent), while honoring the 27-year-old’s initial desire to be moved, which dates back to the summer.
Continuing to operate as Nick Chubb‘s backup, Hunt has been a steady contributor for the Browns this season. He received double-digit carries in each of the first five games of the year, as the team leaned even more heavily than usual on the run game while awaiting the return of Deshaun Watson from his suspension. He has, on the other hand, averaged 4.0 yards per carry in 2022, the lowest mark of his career.
Still, his pass-catching ability (which has translated to 87 yards and a score so far this year) would make Hunt a useful acquisition for a contending team. The Eagles – who made an offer on Christian McCaffrey – would certainly qualify as such. They rank fifth in the league in rushing, averaging just under 150 yards per game on the ground en route to a 7-0 record.
Hunt’s deal carries a base salary of just $1.35MM for the season, so he would be a cost-effective addition to Philadelphia’s backfield (and one the team would be better-positioned to afford than most). His carries total would be strictly limited by the presence of lead back Miles Sanders, not to mention quarterback Jalen Hurts, but pass-catching duties would leave him with a notable role in their elite offense.
Eagles GM Howie Roseman has shown a willingness to make splash moves as recently as this April’s draft, executing a deal with the Saints which landed them extra 2023 capital and acquiring wideout A.J. Brown for a first-round pick. A rental deal for Hunt would carry far less significance, presumably, but it would add further to the pieces the team has to work with as they aim for another Super Bowl run.

Go get another pass rusher. And a DT.
Beef up the front line.
Classless guy on a classless franchise. Seems like a match made in heaven.
Awwww did they hurt you?
I love people like you. Makes me laugh you talking about classless meanwhile you on a trading site crying. And meanwhile have no idea about the Eagles lol. All you know is they the best team in the league and ur just mad bro. wipe those tears definitely has to be a Dallas fan you can just tell
Best team in the league is a stretch when they’ve mostly beat up on garbage teams. Only undefeated team is better choice of words
The NFL is full of garbage teams. You beat who’s in front of you. 7-0. Best team in the league
No, best record doesn’t equate to best team. Bills are obviously better.
Would make for a great Super Bowl between the Bills and Iggles.
Speaking of garbage teams, how about them Jets? Philly still undefeated…
Looks like the Eagles’ year – as they got a cake schedule and thus home field advantage so they should go for it.
probably just an easy schedule and garbage teams ya … hate away bastards. things about to get scary in Phillytown. Kareem going green this Halloween dang
no thanks
