Kareem Hunt was seen as one of the best running backs in the NFL a few years ago. Unfortunately, he has not been able to be at the same level he had with the Kansas City Chiefs, so he’s future with the Cleveland Browns has taken a sharp U-turn.

When Kareem Hunt signed with the Browns in 2019, everyone thought they would have a great running back duo with him and Nick Chubb. However, he has been far from the expectations and the team has a lot of doubts regarding his role with them.

The former Toledo player used to be a solid starter, but Chubb proved to be better. As the Browns are building their roster for the 2023 season, now they have addressed Hunt’s situation and his future.

Will Kareem Hunt play for the Browns in 2023?GM Andrew Berry addresses the matter

Two weeks ago, the Browns had a huge reason not to bring back Kareem Hunt for the 2023 season. However, things apparently have changes since then and they are thinking it twice.

Hunt is set to become an unrestricted free agent. According to reports, Cleveland was ready to move on from him and giveJerome Ford an opportunity as RB2, butGM Andrew Berry has another thought on that.

“I don’t know that we’ve necessarily shut the door on anything,” Berry said Friday about a possible reunion with Hunt. “Look, we’re not playing games until September, so we’ll remain open-minded to anything that can help the team.

“We like the room that we have, obviously, Nick leads it,” Berry said. “Pleased with Jerome (Ford)’s progress over the last year. John Kelly, (Nate) McCrary, Demetric (Felton), taking reps there. We feel like we have a variety of skill sets that wouldn’t exclude us from adding someone this upcoming weekend at that position. We just have to see how the board shakes out.”

Hunt’s production in 2022 was definitely not his best. He ran for 468 yards in 123 attempts for an average of 3.8 yards per carrie, the lowest of his career.
