What we laid out and what we agreed to as far as using the resources of the league and the Players Association to make sure that he’s making better decisions going forward, and that was very clearly stated. I expect that will be the foundation of any decision I make on that point.”The handling of the former Chiefs running back has drawn criticism, but the team has stood behind a guy who has never played a down for them. He’s currently undergoing anger management counseling and performing community serviceOwner Dee Haslam told Mary Kay Cabot of the that her conversations with Hunt before he was signed were convincing.“That was the main thing that led us to say yes https://www.brownsfanshop.com/Duke-Johnson-Jersey ,” Haslam said. “He’s a really nice young man who obviously made some horrendous mistakes but owns those. He owned them. Wants to do better. Wants to be a better person. Listening to John [Dorsey] and Freddie [Kitchens], they felt confident he would contribute to the team and could do this. It’s up to Kareem. He has to prove it. But he’s a young man who made a terrible mistakes. It’s something we put a lot of thought into.“Everything is up to him. Obviously there are no guarantees here.

The speculation has only intensified since general manager John Dorsey signed free agent running back Kareem Hunt, who will miss the first eight games of the upcoming season while serving a suspension.With Nick Chubb coming off a stellar rookie season and Hunt waiting in the wings, it seems like that there will not be enough touches for Johnson, which could be why he is reportedly requesting a trade. Much like defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah, who was traded to the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday afternoon Jabrill Peppers Color Rush Jersey , Johnson appears to be the odd man out with the current front office’s revamped roster.It is not clear what Dorsey could get for Johnson in a trade, but given his track record so far it would not be surprising if it is another player-for-player swap.Johnson had a strange year in 2018 with career lows in rushing attempts and receptions, but he still averaged five yards per carry and 9.1 yards per reception. He is also still the same player who set franchise records for a running back with 74 receptions and 693 receiving yards in 2017.Johnson had more than 500 receiving yards in each of his first three seasons, joining Herschel Walker as the only running backs in league history to achieve that mark.
