Browns running back Kareem Hunt has requested a trade, but the team has told him they will not honor that request, Cleveland.com’s Mary Kay Cabot reports. Hunt held out of team drills on Friday and Saturday as a way to let Cleveland know he was unhappy with his contract.
Cabot adds that Hunt began to express a desire for a new extension in June, but there have yet to be meaningful talks.
Hunt is in the final year of a two-year, $13.25 million extension. He has spent the last three seasons with Cleveland, highlighted by an 841-yard, six-touchdown season in 2020. After signing the extension the following offseason, Hunt battled injuries last year, playing in just eight games all season.
