According to the Daily News, the Jets will not pursue former Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt.

The 23-year-old has been on the Commissioner's Exempt List since Nov. 30, following his release.

Hunt was released by the Chiefs for lying about a Feb. 2017 incident involving a 19-year-old woman at a Cleveland hotel. The NFL is investigating into three separate incidents involving the running back, including assaulting a woman at the hotel.

The NFL is expected to finish its investigation before free agency begins in March.

Hunt rushed for 824 yards on 181 carries in 2018. He scored seven rushing touchdowns and seven receiving touchdowns.

The 2017 NFL rushing leader could miss at least 6-8 games next season through suspensions.

Last season, the Jets finished 26th overall with 101.4 rushing yards per game.
