A couple weeks ago, Ian Rapoport dropped a bomb on Twitter suggesting that the Vikings had been garnering trade interest regarding EDGE Danielle Hunter. A few days later, the Vikings star was a no-show at mandatory minicamp, and the rumors instantly became very real.
Hunter is entering the final year of his contract with the team in 2023, and the problem lies in the fact that he is set to make just $5.5 million, ranking 56th among EDGE rushers this season. His health has been questionable over the past few years (playing just seven games between the 2020 and 2021 seasons combined), but the production has certainly been there when he’s healthy, with double-digit sacks in his last three healthy seasons.
