The NFL has a problem that when a team that does the right thing by releasing players with poor character, other teams that don't care about players' character reap the benefits. That's the league's problem. Releasing that person is still the right thing for the Chiefs to do.
Totally disagree with your first paragraph. Suspend him and get him counseling. Then see where you're at afterwards. IMO, that's what should have happened with Hunt. But because of all the SJW's out there and all the pressure that accompanies them, errrr I mean because Hill lied :-),
is why the Chiefs jumped the gun to release him. [Reply]

And, you’re wrong here. The Chiefs released him because they’re were stupid and emotional. Literally nobody really gives a shit about such “pressure.” [Reply]
:-) Hunt was not playing in the AFC Championship Game regardless. He was still on the Commissioners Exempt List. Why is that still a point people bring up? [Reply]

Damien Williams had 5.1YPC last year and he's a journeyman RB. So we shouldn't act like Hunt was irreplaceable. He just ****ed himself over and cost his team during a playoff run. In between the two season, he'll have missed 15 games including 2 playoff games. He put himself in that position by being an idiot and then by lying to the Chiefs about his idiocy. If he would have been honest, worst case scenario is that he got 4-6 games suspended at the beginning of last year instead of basically the whole last half of the season. And that's the worst case scenario. Best case is that the chiefs would have somehow gotten the tape buried and he lives happily ever after.
I agree with most, but an all pro rb's value goes beyond the numbers and can be hard to quantify. Remember the 3rd and 1 in the afc championship game DW was stuffed in a play Hunt would have easily gained if you switched bodies at point of contact. That one play (slight hyperbole ahead) may have meant the SB, and was a huge stop for NE. [Reply]

IMO you're spot on about it being a stupid and emotional decision, but mistaken if you feel that the Chiefs didn't give a shit about feeling the heat. [Reply]

I’m for keeping until the end of the year. Then tag and trading him for a first . Enough tine will of gone by where we should be able to get a first for him. Especially if amari Cooper gets a first we should get two first although one would be fine. Even if he is cleared just to much drama surrounding the guy. [Reply]
