Sad People Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Makes me wonder if we will trade him later on in the year to a team wanting to get over the hump in the playoffs. Vikings arent in a pickle of needing to trade him now and may be accepting a lower offer then wed get later on in the year Hunter gets his money and plays.

Frankie2Gunz Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Hunter is one of the most underrated edge rushers in the NFL. When he is healthy there is no question he is among the best. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a long time ago but IIRC he was the fastest player ever to reach 50 sacks in their career. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the only scenario that makes sense or this deal is beyond stupid after giving him a No Tag Clause for next year. However what's the endgame here, really? He ballsout, loves being a Viking, Minnesota is more then willing to give him 27-30M a year come FA? Whatever that market number will be post/pre Bosa/Parsons? Trade him for a 2024 3rd "Playoff rental" meaning the Vikings season is most definitely over? The team trading can't negotiate a long term extension contingent upon the trade, already have it in place. So any idea of a 1st or more is a pipe dream and will never happen. Lose him in FA, wait a year and collect a 2025 3rd rd Comp? Honestly don't get the No Tag Clause, from a Organizational standpoint? 🤷♂️ Great deal by Hunter! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not bad for a player who had 4.5 career sacks in college, and only 1.5 of those came in his final year. (He had 13 TFL that year though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember reading that it was the way he was used at LSU and his specific “job” on that defense there and it obviously wasn’t rushing the passer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought that wasn't allowed? Dunno. I don’t see why a team couldn’t negotiate a long term deal with him if they traded for him or see why the Vikings couldn’t continue to try and work out a long term contract with him throughout the year. But I also don’t follow the rules that’s closely when it comes to contracts and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
