On Monday night, Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt helped lead his team to a blowout victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. But despite his integral role in the win, there’s a chance that the running back isn’t even on the team’s roster the following day as trade rumors heat up.
After the game, Hunt was asked about those trade rumors and he had a pretty blunt response, revealing he isn’t really worried about what happens ahead of the trade deadline.
“I mean, I’m down for whatever,” Hunt said, according to Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal. “I’m a football player and it’s a business. I’m ready to do whatever they decide with me. That’s either go somewhere else or here, anything, it don’t matter. I love the game of football.”
There’s still a chance the Browns elect to keep him for the remainder of the season as they look to make a playoff push. The team has a 3-5 record right now, but star quarterback Deshaun Watson will soon be eligible to make his debut for the team following his suspension.
But whatever the Browns are planning to do with Hunt, the running back reveals they haven’t told him.
“I have no idea,” Hunt said. “I don’t talk to them about that. Like I said, I just come in and work. If something happens, I guess it happens. I’m always going to show up and work, they know that.”
The NFL trade deadline is 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday afternoon.
