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
