The New York Giants have a profound connection to one of the hottest names on the trading block. Minnesota Vikings star edge rusher Danielle Hunter is skipping mandatory minicamp as the two sides “haven’t seen eye-to-eye on a new contract.” The Vikings have received trade calls for Hunter and the three-time Pro Bowler could be traded soon.
Giants defensive line coach Andre Patterson is familiar with Hunter, having coached him for several seasons during his tenure with Minnesota. Patterson was formerly the defensive line coach for the Vikings from 2014 to 2021. He also served as the team’s assistant head coach and co-defensive coordinator in 2021.
