The Danielle Hunter deadlock continues to linger as training camp gets closer.

So far, the team and player have been unable to reach a compromise that would make each side happy (or unhappy, as some compromises go). Everyone can see that #99 needs more than just the $5.5 million in real cash he’ll earn in 2023, but the precise nature of the raise has been stubbornly elusive.

Does another deal for one of the NFL’s best pass rushers help? Well, it just might.

Over at The Athletic, Mark Kaboly and Larry Holder relay the news that EDGE Alex Highsmith has agreed to a 5-year, $70 million deal.
