Report: Browns sign Hunt to 2-year, $13.5M extension

The Cleveland Browns have signed running back Kareem Hunt to a two-year contract extension worth $13.5 million with $8.5 million guaranteed, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Hunt debuted with the Browns last season after serving an eight-game suspension for domestic violence allegations. The Kansas City Chiefs released the rusher in 2018 when a video emerged of him kicking and pushing a woman.

The 25-year-old found himself in more trouble this past offseason after police found marijuana in Hunt's possession after pulling him over for speeding.

Hunt said in June that he was lucky the Browns gave him another chance following his latest off-field incident.

Hunt appeared in eight games for the Browns in 2019, racking up 179 yards and two touchdowns on 49 carries. The team expects him to again slot in behind Nick Chubb on Cleveland's depth chart in 2020.
