Danielle Hunter News
The Vikings and defensive end Danielle Hunter agreed to a new one-year contract. The three-time Pro Bowler was set to earn $5.5 million this season. But he is now guaranteed $17 million, with the chance to earn up to $20 million. The deal also prohibits Minnesota from using the franchise tag on him next offseason, meaning he'll become an unrestricted free agent. Hunter has played in Minnesota his whole career, totaling 378 tackles, 71 sacks, and seven forced fumbles in 102 games. Without question, the 28-year-old will garner interest from multiple teams, although he'll need to prove he's still worth big money.
Minnesota Vikings defensive end Danielle Hunter, who skipped last month's minicamp while awaiting resolution on his future, reported to training camp on Tuesday, according to head coach Kevin O'Connell. However, even though he showed up, he's not expected to practice until his contract situation gets resolved. The 28-year-old pass-rusher is scheduled to make $4.9 million in 2023, and he feels he deserves more after making the Pro Bowl three out of the last four seasons. In 2022, Hunter had 65 tackles (46 solo), 10.5 sacks, 12 tackles for loss, 22 QB hits, three passes defensed and a forced fumble in 17 regular-season starts for the Vikes. His fantasy stock in IDP leagues is a bit down heading into the 2023 season, but at worst, he'll be a streaming option at defensive line this year.
Minnesota Vikings edge rusher Danielle Hunter is planning to hold out of the team's mandatory minicamp as he seeks a new contract. The 28-year-old posted 10.5 sacks last season, earning his third trip to the Pro Bowl in eight seasons with the Vikings. Minnesota has received trade calls for Hunter, but it's unclear whether the team is interested in moving one of the top rushers in the NFL. Hunter has just the 15th-highest average salary among all edge rushers heading into 2023. This will be a development worth monitoring, as his absence could prove disastrous for one of the league's worst defenses from last season.
