Last summer, the four-time Pro Bowler agreed to a one-year, $20 million deal with the Minnesota Vikings. However, now that the 2023 campaign is over, if the Minnesota Vikings plan to keep him, they may have to sign him on a similar (or better) deal, which could be a problem due to cap constraints.
Danielle Hunter, who won NFC Defensive Player of the Month in November, has recorded double-digit sacks in four of his last five seasons. All in all, he has had five such campaigns and is currently sixth on the Minnesota Vikings’ all-time sacks list.
Danielle Hunter has spent his entire eight-year NFL career with the Minnesota Vikings. The 29-year-old came to the team after he was picked No. 88 overall (third round) in the 2015 NFL Draft.
This star pass rusher has set career highs this 2023 in combined tackles (83), solo tackles (54), assists on tackles (29), and sacks (16.5). He also had 23 tackles for a loss this season, the best mark in the league, and his 86 quarterback pressures were fourth-best in the NFL.
