Allen Park — Kareem Hunt proved not worth the baggage he would bring. The Detroit Lions, along with 30 other NFL teams, passed on an opportunity to claim the talented, but troubled running back off waivers Monday afternoon.
Hunt, who has been one of the NFL’s most productive players this season with 1,202 yards from scrimmage and 14 touchdowns, was cut by the Kansas City Chiefs over the weekend after video of an offseason altercation with a woman surfaced, showing the running back knocking the victim over with a shove and knocking her over a second time with a kick.
