As Kareem Hunt signs with Browns, Bears’ search for a running back looks elsewhere

The Bears will not be adding Kareem Hunt, with the former Kansas City Chiefs running back signing with the Cleveland Browns on Monday.

Hunt was released by the Chiefs last season after video surfaced of him shoving and kicking a woman outside his Cleveland apartment in a February 2018 incident. Both general manager Ryan Pace and coach Matt Nagy did not rule out exploring the idea of signing Hunt at their end-of-season press conference in January, with Nagy saying he had recently spoke with Hunt on a personal level.

Nagy was the Chiefs’ offensive coordinator in 2017, when Hunt led the NFL in rushing as a rookie.
