I agree I think he is AT LEAST a top 3 DE in the league, but also devils advocate, he's coming off a neck surgery which is scary, also the Joey Bosa contract is just a mega outlier to every other DE contract which it seems like reports are saying he wants Bosa money. Bosa makes 27mil (which we can't afford) and the next closest is Miles Garrett just signed an average 25m/year. After that it's 22m for Mack. Bosa just got some insane deal compared to anyone else on that market. I'd be happy to pay Hunter in that 23-25m range but anything north of 27mil will cripple our cap space we did so well at building back up



Well said bro. The lack of salary cap room might be the issue

Kirk might finally be off the books in two years and the Cap is going to soar with the new TV deal so maybe we can work out a back end contract but we'll have to see. Not sure what his trade value is but honestly unless it's two first round picks which I know we aren't going to get, it's not worth trading him.

Hunter is an incredible talent but coming off neck surgery and his production is not worth 20m a year, let alone in the 22-25 range. We overpaid him early expecting his rise and it happened. Now he's a sour puss because he didn't think ahead. Let him play another year and prove he's still elite. It's not like he's making peanuts

I don't blame either side really, Hunter was dumb for not betting on himself, but at the time he was still a rotational player that was guaranteed life changing money. That being said he's easily a top 5 DE in the league and is getting paid what the 20th best? I get his frustration and I get the vikings holding onto the contract.



With that said, RESTRUCTURE HUNTER IS BACK!

18mil salary this year with an optional 20mil salary next year... still a steal if he comes back healthy

considering Bosa makes 27mil and Mack makes 25mil

Youngest player in NFL history to hit 50 sacks. Amazing against the run. Shush scrub. Watch the game for once

Sheldon Richardson is back. Love the pickup. Good depth signing behind Tomlinson and Pierce
