In a month that hosted the temporary resolution to Danielle Hunter’s contractual standoff with the Minnesota Vikings, that event will serve as the summer’s most influential story – barring unforeseen injury to a player like Kirk Cousins, Dalvin Cook, or Hunter himself.
Hunter will remain with the Vikings at least until the end of 2021, avoiding any holdout that was long theorized since an article from The Athletic hinted at the notion. Now, Hunter is in camp and fully committed to the 2021 season. Next spring will act as a time of judgment for his long-term prognosis with the franchise (if no in-season extension materializes).
