Makes me lol reading posts from the homers defending the ridiculous move to release Kareem Hunt. Let me guess you all think Kareem is a scumbag because of this minor incident? What a joke...

I know some think that Reid made the decision to cut Kareem Hunt, but I truly believe it was Clark's decision. I think that Veach and Reid liked Kareem, and knew how popular he was with his teammates. I don't think they were happy with what Kareem did, or how he handled it, but Reid has shown that he sees players as more than just on the field assets, and makes a positive impact on their lives by accepting that they make mistakes and by trying to help them correct those mistakes and become better people.
I think Reid would have made the effort to try and do the same with Kareem, but Clark Hunt is never going to let a player lie to him in a situation like this and let it slide.
Clark Hunt does not seem to have much of a personality, and seems to be freshly awakened from a coma every time he gives an interview, but I have always viewed him as a man of integrity, much like his father. I believe he places a high value on integrity, and Kareem lying about the situation was always going to end with the Chiefs cutting him. Even if he never spoke directly to Clark (I think he did) lying to Veach and Reid is lying to Clark. Clark may have even repeated Kareem's side of the story to NFL officials, and making Clark seem like a liar may have added to his nearly immediate release.
I think Kareem Hunt has some of the best hips, and some of the best balance, of any RB since Barry Sanders, and I hated losing him, but I was over it when we notched our first W without him. I don't care what he does, or how the Browns handle his ongoing behavior. He isn't a Kansas City Chief.
