Is Kareem Hunt A Free Agent?

Last year the former Toledo star had the worst year of his career. Hunt averaged only 3.8 yards per rushing attempt, a career low. Furthermore, the veteran had only three rushing touchdowns, the lowest total of his career when he played at least nine games.

Therefore, it’s no surprise the Browns didn’t re-sign the former star running back when his contract expired this offseason. More importantly, Hunt remains a free agent.

Which Teams Would Be A Good Fit For Kareem Hunt?

While he is a free agent, Hunt isn't lacking confidence. The veteran running back has spoken to several teams about joining them for the 2023 season.

Reportedly the Washington Commanders have had internal conversations about Hunt. The veteran running back was in Kansas City at the same new offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy was with the team. However, the Commanders have invested multiple draft picks at the running back position over the past few years.

The best landing spot for Hunt is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Rachaad White had some solid moments as a rookie but didn’t show enough potential to warrant the unquestioned starting role. Hunt could challenge the second-year running back for the starting job and would be, at worst, a solid No. 2 running back for the Buccaneers.

Multiple teams could use Hunt as a veteran backup. However, there isn’t a landing spot for the former Toledo star that will make him a fantasy star this year. At best, the veteran could become a mid-level handcuff.
