Should Danielle Hunter leave the Vikings this offseason after spending the last eight years in Minnesota, many think the free-agent edge rusher will be the top player available at the position.
Fellow edge rusher Josh Allen is expected to be franchise tagged by the Jaguars while the Panthers could proceed the same way with Brian Burns. The franchise tag deadline is Tuesday. Those developments would help Hunter, a four-time Pro Bowler who compiled 16.5 sacks in 2023.
ESPN ranks Hunter No. 8 on its top 50 free agents while Pro Football Focus ranked the 29-year-old 12th on its top 200.
