Kareem Hunt pushing and kicking a woman in the hallway of a Cleveland hotel nine months earlier Devin White Jersey , the Chiefs moved quickly to cut Hunt — reportedly because Hunt had lied to the Chiefs about the incident. Speaking to reporters for the first time since joining the Browns, Hunt admitted (eventually) that he didn’t tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth to the team that drafted him in 2017.“I tried to tell them as much as possible,” Hunt initially said, via the . It quickly became clear that he didn’t tell them enough, especially in light of what the video showed.“I just told them what I knew at the time, and when the video came out, it was like me seeing it too for the first time, too. It was so long ago L.J. Collier Jersey , so they felt like I lied, so it’s all right,” Hunt said.And Hunt then added this: “I didn’t tell them everything, so I really take it as I kind of did.”It’s unclear what the Chiefs would have done if Hunt had admitted the February 2018 misconduct when first asked about it. If Hunt’s second chance results in his second NFL rushing title (his first came as a rookie in Kansas City), the Chiefs may regret that they didn’t ensure that Hunt’s second chance would come with the team that drafted him. JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Two-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Marcell Dareus wants to let loose. He’s dying to say how he really feels about getting dumped by the Buffalo Bills in October for a late-round draft pick.It’s clearly gnawing at the Jacksonville Jaguars lineman.He’s biting his lips. He’s clinching his fists. He’s swaying while he talks.More Jacksonville Jaguars newsJaguars expect DE Yannick Ngakoue’s holdout to be short-livedJaguars rookie safety Zedrick Woods submits retirement paperworkJalen Ramsey says Jaguars don’t plan to give him contract extension this seasonJaguars sign former UCF running back Taj McGowan for added depthJaguars QB Nick Foles to miss OTAs for undisclosed ‘personal reason’But he manages to stay on the high road — for now. His emotions surely will be more evident when Dareus and his new team, the Jaguars, host his former team , the Bills, in an AFC wild-card game Sunday.“I’m just happy for the opportunity Johnathan Abram Jersey , man,” Dareus said this week. “It’s just crazy. God is funny. Just don’t question his work. Just do your job.”The 340-pound Dareus is itching to unload, and that becomes clear when asked he’s whether it surprised him to find out what the Bills got — a sixth-round pick that became a fifth when Jacksonville made the playoffs — in return for a former first-round draft pick with 300 tackles and 35 sacks.“They had to make a move, and it’s business,” he said. “But you can’t act like it doesn’t hurt. It’s just ironic that we have to see these guys and it brings up old memories.”Dareus was overwhelmed with phone calls and text messages after the Bills (9-7) landed the final playoff spot thanks to Cincinnati’s stunning, come-from-behind victory at Baltimore on Sunday. He received 170 messages during a 45-minute flight from Nashville, Tennessee, to Jacksonville, that night and hundreds more in the days since.Most congratulated him. Some wanted tickets.All of them know what to expect: Dareus will have extra motivation against former teammates and coaches.“He knows those guys better than anybody in this locker room, including coaches Maxx Crosby Jersey ,” Jaguars safety Tashaun Gipson said. “It’s good to have a guy like that, especially a dominant player like him and it’s exciting that he’s on my side of the ball.”The Jaguars (10-6) have been through already. Defensive end Calais Campbell returned to Arizona and played against his former team in late November. A week earlier, Gipson did the same to Cleveland.“The difference is he’s playing against a playoff team and I was playing against a 0-16 team,” Gipson said. “I think the stakes are a little higher with him, the team that gave up on him essentially, let him come here, and he gets to face them. What an awesome opportunity.“You can’t dream of that kind of stuff. You get to play them here, at home, in the playoffs. I mean, if anybody’s going to be hyped.”Jaguars coach Doug Marrone expects Dareus to have a little extra juice Foster Moreau Jersey , which could come with positive or negative results.“I just told him to be smart,” Marrone said.Dareus has been a solid addition to an already stout defense .Jacksonville improved from 31st to 21st against the run since his arrival. And with Dareus making his first start since the trade last week at Tennessee, he finished with four tackles and a sack as the Jaguars held Derrick Henry to 51 yards on 28 carries.“When opportunity presents itself, my number gets called, I’ve got to answer the phone,” Dareus said.This is Dareus’ first playoff game in seven seasons. He had hoped it would happen with Buffalo, the team that drafted him third overall in 2011 and then gave him a six-year, $96 million contract extension in September 2015.Instead, it comes against the Bills.“It’ll be different,” Buffalo center Eric Wood said. “It’s definitely a familiar face Joey Bosa Jersey , a guy I’ve gone against probably more than anyone else in my career as far as a rep count goes, a guy I’ve texted with probably weekly since he left, but a really good ball player. I’ve definitely got to be on my game playing against him.”Dareus called it “comical almost” that it worked out this way. He said all the right things, holding back his true thoughts and feelings.Gipson was much more open and honest.“We’re going to all rally behind him,” Gipson said. “We all know how much this means.”131<button class="view-gallery">View Gallery</button> Gallery:Jacksonville Jaguars cheerleadersReinhold Matay-USA TODAY Sports | Reinhold Matay
