Hunt hopes to stay with the Browns long term, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Hunt is scheduled to play out 2020 under a restricted free agent tender for $3.26 million. His desire to stay in Cleveland doesn't necessarily mean he'll sign an extension this summer, and it's possible he changes his mind if he spends the upcoming season behind Nick Chubb in the backfield. Former Browns GM John Dorsey was happy to scoop up Hunt at a discount after the running back was investigated for assault, but new GM Andrew Berry may view things differently, especially after Hunt was found with a small amount of marijuana and an unsealed bottle of alcohol during a traffic stop in January. While the incident won't cost him his spot on the team, it could dissuade the Browns from discussing a contract extension. In other news, Hunt has done some virtual offseason work with the Browns' wide receivers, potentially preparing to get a bit of slot work in Kevin Stefanski's offense.
