Anything they can do to fortify their lead dog status? What can the Vikings do to get their hat in the ring?

Discuss.

The Vikings could bring Peterson back. It might not put them in the lead, but it'd get them back in the conversation. Also, Burfict might be let go so that would put them over the top.

That should seal the deal.

They are the Browns, so no one REALLY cares what they do. They’ve been the lovable losers for so long and so many neutral fans roots for them because they have sucked for so long, that in the court of public opinion, the Browns signing Hunt isn’t seen as reprehensible as if the Jets or Eagles did it.

The talking heads and fans are getting the whole “how dare they sign Hunt” outrage out of their system, but once the combine and draft roll around, no one will be talking about it anymore. It was smart for the Browns to rip the band-aid off at this point and not wait until actual free agency.

For the small price of the initial PR hit (which doesn’t affect them as much as more established franchises), they now get to cash in on this.

Hunt’s value will be WAY higher at this time next season. The PR hit has already been absorbed and no one will care as much about what Hunt did at this point next year. The same thing happened to Joe Mixon, Dalvin Cook and Tyreke Hill. No one ever talks about their incidents anymore.

Next season, the Browns either will be able to extend Hunt and boast one of the top RB duos in the league OR since Hunt is only signed for one year and becomes a RFA, the Browns will be able to net a draft pick from whoever signs Hunt.

He’ll only be 24 and like I said, won’t come with the same PR hit as this year.

Just remember, Hunt assaulted 2 people in a 4 month period. Saying that the Browns will cash in is probably a bit of an overstatement. This dude obviously has a short fuse and a loose screw. There's a non zero chance that he gets himself in trouble again soon.

Kareem hunt = top athlete in the world. Was never charged and has been in treatment. Any NFL team has the right to sign him. Just because you don't have money doesn't mean top athletes, who play in a multi billion dollar league, shouldn't make what they deserve.

There is no troll attempt. This kind of shit happens everywhere, in every field. I'm not going to single out athletes because they deserving make more than 99% of all Americans. They deserve to be paid. Hunt is losing out on a shit load of money, he is being punished.

Incorrect. People who have Assault on their record have trouble finding work, which Hunt would have if he weren't a celebrity. And he isn't losing money. His salary, under his Browns contract, is higher than it would have been on his rookie deal with KC. Even if he's suspended for the first 6 games of 2019, he'll likely make more money. You should probably do a bit of research before posting.

He doesn’t have assault on his record. No criminal charges and he’s not going to face any. He’s top 1% in a billion dollar industry. Rich ppl have access to more resources.

His contract this year doesn’t make up for what he lost out on this year lol. Not to mention any endorsement deals. So that’s pretty fucking stupid.

You’re racist, so you think hunt is stupid and should work a McDonald’s job. That’s the only thing that makes sense here. You’re not some humanitarian. You don’t care about other dirtbags. Just talented ones who are black and play football. Interesting.

Sorry, this is just wrong. Playing in the NFL is a privilege. Violence towards women or children should automatically be a lifetime ban.

Hunt hardly touched the girl.

AP is tricky. That is child abuse to me but to other's it is not.

Either way AP has never caused trouble and hasn't after.

I like a 3 strike rule, Flex.

I just feel that anyone who has the ability to make millions of dollars playing a game should be held to a higher standard then your average everyday American.
