But - this isn't true. Hunt doesn't have a job. He doesn't answer to anyone that he doesn't want to answer to. He has no extension to seek, no raise to ask for. No job to lose.holidaysmore wrote: ↑Fri Apr 26, 2019 12:55 pm Everything we were led to believe was that Hill was being a model citizen and up until this off season, at least to the public he was. In this case the age old additive of, 'you are who you are' is most likely true.
The first thing if I was Hunt is to realize that he has a job to do first, which is to act in the best interest of the football team. Unfortunately the morality has to be second. You don't win Super Bowls or get extensions because you did the 'right' thing. You release Hill now he will get picked up in a year. You then have a WR who was top 5 in his position with a year off who is STILL on his rookie deal. Either you wait for Goodell to make the call or you put him on the Reserved / Suspended list for the whole year and re-evaluate in another year.
Hopefully the Chiefs learned from the Hunt situation. They got peer pressured into the public outcry and gave away a top 5 RB for nothing.
It does suck that this is what this has come down to but if the Chiefs release Hill because it is the right and moral thing to do (which I agree. he should be done with football for life.) some team will come back in a year and pick him up. Now you have given away two of your best football players for nothing.
If he wants, he can decide that people like Hill just will not have a place with the Chiefs.
If he wants, he can decide not to take a hard line, and to paper over the issue with "commitments to the community" and so on and so forth.
There's not a right answer, I don't think. But I know for sure that he's not duty-bound to anything except his own priorities.
