The Cleveland Browns and former general manager John Dorsey received criticism last offseason when they decided to sign running back Kareem Hunt. Hunt was on the commissioner's exempt list at the time after a video was released showing Hunt assaulting a woman. For many on the outside, it was a bad look for the organization to sign Hunt following the incident.
The Browns felt that bringing Hunt back to his hometown and putting him in their program and around the right people would help him grow as a person and reduce the potential of future incidents occurring.
