The ESPN story

Kareem back 6 years after the Chiefs cut him.

BS--we had to cut him.The Browns were lucky we had to cut him.

If we could not have him, no one else should have.


I will never get past that.

Exactly! KC did the "right" thing, and were the biggest losers in the whole deal.

He definitely has been struggling in the red zone and in goal line situations.

We did NOT have to cut him; that was Clark's dumbass choice. Literally everyone knew he would play again fairly soon.

Cost them a Super Bowl. But if your 2018 team wins the Super Bowl, does Bob Sutton keep his job over the long haul? Spags was pretty important to winning the last 2 rings for KC. The domino effect is pretty interesting on this situation.

Isn't Cleveland's OL awful? Seems like Hunt's declining numbers probably had more to do with that than being 28.

His numbers in Cleveland were never close to his numbers in Reid's offense.

Once again. The decision to cut Kareem Hunt had absolutely no bearing on the 2018 Super Bowl. He was not playing regardless. He was on the commissioners exempt list. The Chiefs did not cut him until after he was on that list.

We're all pulling for KC's best redemption story on the team. I'm all for a teary-eyed Hunt holding the Lombardi with tears jump cutting down his cheeks the next two years...

That's completely fair to say. I'm thinking more along the lines that if Kareem stayed out of trouble to begin with, the 2018 Chiefs probably win the Super Bowl. That would create the interesting domino effect with Bob Sutton & Spags.

Which SB did cutting him cost us?

So Hunt is for sure playing this week?

But winning that Super Bowl includes a win over Tom Brady in the playoffs.

I personally don't care that Pat is 0-2 against Tom in the playoffs, but I know every Patriot nut hugger on the planet will hold that stat against him until the end of time.

They sent Ingram back down to the practice squad, so if they want 3 RBs (which they almost always do), he'll be active.

So be it. Tom is the GOAT. He’s also the luckiest player in football history, starting with that Tuck Rule which only existed for a very short time period. I would not mind if Patriot fans suffer for 50 years after all the lucky BS that went their way in the Brady years.

Lets be real here, losing in 2018 cost us 1 SB, but gained us Spags who got us 3 more we likely wouldn't have seen nearly that soon.

3:1 is a great trade off.
