I've seen this circulating on twitter. Do the Vikings try and trade Danielle Hunter this off season and commit to the rebuild? He wants a new contract and is probably set to be paid top 5 at least defensive money in the NFL. That is A LOT of coin to be spread between Cousins and Hunter
Thoughts? - I say trade Hunter if you can get a top 1/3 1st round pick and a second or third in return
I would love to try and trade cousins to a team like Indy who has the supporting cast (top o-line, especially interior) to elevate Cousins. But the likelihood of that happening is 0.1%...
I'd probably put every player on the trading block for the right price who isn't JJeffs, Brian O'Neil and Bradbury.

I don't move Hunter unless I get a Kahlil Mack type of deal in return. He is under a cheap contract for 3 more years. That kind of value is really hard to trade away.

They'll get something out of him, I suppose. Seems like they didn't think there was much chance of resigning him with next year's cap situation. They would have likely got a 3rd round compensatory pick if he left, but this Baltimore pick will be at worst, a little bit better than the compensatory pick would have been. Plus there's a conditional 5th they could get as well.
But that's the extreme rose colored glasses take. It's pretty much a **** sandwich, and a blaring megaphone of a signal that they're throwing in the towel on this season
He wants a new contract though... If you can get him to play under his current contract. No way you trade him. However, the Wolf's like to extend their players when they don't like their contract (except Reiff)
So Hunter just going to skip his year 25 and 26 seasons just so he can get a new contract? I don't think so.
Makes perfect sense.
The Hunter/Ngakoue combo didn’t materialize. They found out first hand that Ngakoue is one dimensional and can’t stop the run.
Situation has changed a great deal from when they traded for him. At that time, it looked like ‘21 draft picks were going to be somewhat riskier and devalued. Now the B1G and Pac12 have pulled their heads out of their ***.
So Spielman makes millions to figure out now what I could’ve told him 6 months ago? And you’re okay with that?
To me, this should be the final nail in the Spielman coffin. The fact that you trade away what will now be a very high 2nd round pick for 6 games and then get what will be a very low 3rd round pick in return is a complete failure. That's giving away 50ish draft spots for virtually nothing.
Compile that with the albatross that is both Cousins contracts and the fact that he has done very little to get a competent O-line to protect said statue QB makes it clear Rick really doesn't get it. Time for a change. And I love Zim, but his defense also isn't very good - and really hasn't been great in big games since the 2017 NFCCG. If the new GM wants a new coach, I'm fine with that. Go young and innovative.
Guess now it's time to suck as much as humanly possible and #TankForTrevor
There is no way in HELL you are going to out tank the jets... that's just not possible.
