According to reports out of Cleveland, running back Kareem Hunt has requested a trade. However, the same reports indicate that the Browns have declined the request, telling Hunt that his best move would be to perform well in Cleveland this season and “earn his next contract.”
Hunt signed a two-year deal with the Browns at the start of the 2020 season, and is in the final year of that deal. Under the contract, he is set to earn a base salary of $1.35 million this year, with a roster bonus of $4.9 million as well. As he is looking for a new contract, Hunt was one of the players this off-season who reported to camp but decided to “hold-in,” forgoing practices with the team as he looks to negotiate a new contract.
