If the Vikings and pass rusher Danielle Hunter cannot reach common ground on an extension, Minnesota is open to putting the veteran on the trade market, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports. While the Vikings want to sign Hunter long-term, Fowler reports they want him on a deal that matches his age and skill set.
Additionally, according to Fowler, Hunter prefers being traded or released over playing on his current contract.
Hunter is entering the final year of a five-year, $70 million extension, but is set to make a base salary of $4.9 million. Unhappy with his contract, Hunter skipped all of OTAs in the Spring and has yet to practice at Minnesota’s training camp.
