Whatever discord exists between the Vikings and star defensive end Danielle Hunter did not disappear in the last 24 hours, with the sides agreeing to a modification of Hunter's contract that gives him more money in 2021 and ensured Hunter's arrival at minicamp this week.
But it did accomplish four things, which I talked about on Tuesday's Daily Delivery podcast.
First, it delayed any real hard decisions about Hunter to 2022, which is probably smart for both the Vikings and Hunter. If he proves he's healthy and returns to his dominant level of play, Hunter should be due for a big payday next year from the Vikings or some other team.
