NFL Notes: Kareem Hunt, HC Candidates, XFL

Kareem Hunt

Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk points out that Cleveland police did not charge Kareem Hunt in the February incident shown in the video released by TMZ on Friday, even though she told the police she wanted to press charges.

Smith mentions that in the video, the women tells three police officers that she wants to press charges after the incident occurred and directs them to look at the surveillance footage, but they said they would need a court order to do so.

The hotel provided the video to investigators, but prosecutors ultimately declined to charge Hunt. They did, however, question Hunt that night, but he was not arrested.

• The Cleveland Police Department tells USA Today that their officers knew there were security cameras but never obtained the hotel’s surveillance video because “detectives only follow up on felonies. This is a misdemeanor.”
• Mike Florio considers the Eagles, Browns and Redskins to be teams worth watching for Hunt.
