In releasing him, the Chiefs contended that Hunt had lied to him when they asked about the incident, not telling them about the video. “The Chiefs are right,” Hunt told Salters. “I didn’t tell them everything. I don’t blame them for anything. My actions caused this. I wish I could apologize to them and let them know there’s no hard feelings between me and the Chiefs. I love the program and the people there. I just want to take this time to better myself.”
