The Vikings and Danielle Hunter Both Got What They Wanted - Zone Coverage

After watching Joey Bosa, DeMarcus Lawrence, and Myles Garrett get more than $100 million in their extensions, Hunter wanted a new contract of his own.

For the Vikings, working something out with Hunter was pivotal to their success this season.

If Hunter isn’t the same player, the Vikings would be foolish to dole out $100 million and would have another big contract to work around over the next several seasons.

This bonus creates a prove-it year for Hunter, and if he is fully recovered, it creates an interesting scenario for the Vikings.

Should Hunter put up the season he’s capable of, he’ll find the money somewhere, and that could help the Vikings build an even stronger foundation for the future.
