Cleveland signed Kareem Hunt in season last year after Nick Chubb got hurt and Hunt may remain unsigned as the 2024 season progresses.

A few of the below may have signed somewhere (it's a May 3 list) but many may remain unsigned to later get signed in season.

• Dalvin Cook
• Rashaad Penny
• Cam Akers
• Joshua Kelley
• Latavius Murray
• Kareem Hunt
• Matt Breida
• Jerick McKinnon
• Jakob Johnson
• Kevin Smith
• Melvin Gordon
• Alex Armah
• Brandon Bolden
• Eno Benjamin
  

Cook would be at the top of my list, but Murray seems to have more grit to play in the AFCN. It's a tough choice for me, but I think the Bengals have gone a different direction on expectations of the running game, which puts Cook back at #1. Though I love the idea passed around about using a FB, I think Murray would better fit that bill.
