A league source tells Adam Schefter of ESPN that former Chiefs RB Kareem Hunt will be back in the NFL and have a job “sooner rather than later.”
According to Schefter, multiple teams have expressed interest in Hunt, who has been undergoing anger-management counseling daily after a video surfaced showing him shoving and kicking a woman.
Sources have told Schefter that Hunt appears to be making progress with the counseling, which has led to some teams expressing interest in him.
Bears HC Matt Nagy said last week that he reached out to Hunt, but Schefter says there are other teams with interest in him.
As of now, Hunt is on the commissioner’s exempt list and a suspension from the league is expected to be handed down before free agency.
Hunt, 23, is a former third-round pick of the Chiefs back in 2017. He was in the second year of his four-year, $3.263-million contract and set to make base salaries of $555,000 and $645,000 over the next two years of the agreement when the Chiefs waived him in December.
In 2018, Hunt has appeared in 11 games for the Chiefs and rushed for 824 yards on 181 carries (4.6 YPC) to go along with 26 receptions for 378 yards receiving and 14 total touchdowns.
