The Eagles and Browns are together for joint practices, but could that be the start of Karim Hunt’s deal to Philadelphia?
As we’ve seen frequently during the NFL’s pre-season second game, the Philadelphia Eagles and Cleveland Browns have been in joint training over the past week. That led to some fun moments, no doubt, but there was one player whose presence loomed large without ever entering the field.
Karim Hunt has been taking days off for the Browns, most recently to do so on Friday, but more importantly he found himself at the center of trade rumors after backing out requested a deal from Cleveland while they searched for a new contract.
One of the teams mentioned as a potential commercial destination for Hunt? This will be the Philadelphia Eagles.

So it only makes sense that fans sounded moderate alarm bells on Friday when Hunt and Philadelphia coach Nick Siriani was talking like two old friends on the sidelines during practice.
Of course, the opposing player’s conversation with the team coach does not mean anything. It can be as simple as Hunt not being out on the field and Sirianni having a free moment.
At the same time, the Eagles could use some boosts to run back with already smashed Miles Sanders in pre-season and an unproven depth behind him. maybe. It’s going to be huge for Philadelphia as they try to make a boost in the NFC East.
In short, there is no guarantee that Philly will trade for Kareem Hunt. But when you see Siriani talking backwards, it’s hard not to think that something might be in the works.
