Video: Kareem Hunt Free Agency Preview: Will He Return To Browns?
The 2023 free agent class of running backs is as loaded as we’ve seen in a long time (Saquon Barkley, Josh Jacobs, Tony Pollard, Kareem Hunt, etc). Who will be back? Who will sign elsewhere? And perhaps most importantly (for us), how will this impact our dynasty fantasy football teams?

Kareem Hunt Free Agency Preview
We have heard the rumors of Kareem Hunt getting traded for years. It never happened. Now he’s heading towards free agency where he will almost certainly sign with a new team. But at 27-years old, his days as a team’s RB1 may be over. The 2022 season was by far his worst as a pro. His production and efficiency metrics were down across the board and he basically fell off the radar for fantasy football. Hunt will likely continue to be a committee back, albeit with someone other than Cleveland. His skill set in the passing game will keep him relevant during fantasy draft season.
A potential successor as the RB2 to Nick Chubb is 2022 fifth round pick Jerome Ford. However, he is far from a one-for-one replacement for Hunt. Ford has excellent size-adjusted speed but he disappointed at the combine in both the explosion and agility drills. He is also not the natural receiver that Hunt is, with just one season of double-digit receptions at Cincinnati. Ford has just three carries in the NFL—for three yards.
