News: Vikings keep Hunter

[Creeper]

I thought they might cut him because of the $18 million roster bonus but it appears they are keeping him.

They did the opposite of us.

Somehow I doubt the Cowboys were interested.

 

[FiveSuperBowls]

That’s ok, he wasn’t going to restructure his contract to a veteran minimum for Jerry Jr.

 

[jazzcat22]

Not surprised. Pipe dream for those wanting him to come here.

we like our guys

 

[EMMITTnROY]

Wagner and Za’Darius are now the only impact players we can sign.

And the Safety Neal

There actually is a Jerry Jones Jr.

The Stephen Jones era of cheap, lowballing tactics is upon us. Gone are the days we are ever going to the Superbowl because Stephen wants cheap, bargain based talent.

There’s more.

This is how a real GM plays the free agent and trade market. Don't get what you want, keep him. You do not give away good players.

Sadly, I think Dallas just builds exclusively through the draft. If they get these guys they'd be going off script.

 

[DallasMike]

Too bad. He would have been a game changer. I wonder how aggressive the front office would have been going after him.

It was indeed, I was one of those hoping that Jerry could right the ship, but he stayed on course and pooped his big boy pants again.

Then we are going to need to retain all 4 of those 5th rounders.
They will be like Jerrys' golden 5th round magic darts, hit a bullseye with all those 5ths and lets take this franchise to the glory hole!

Sometimes Jerry gets wild and packages late round picks to move up 5 spots in the 4th round. I've seen him do it in 2020. I was on the edge of my seat.

This doesn't preclude a trade. Sunday was only the guarantee date of the bonus, not the pay date. Money only hits the cap when it is paid, which in this case isn't until training camp. Hunter could still be traded, and that bonus would transfer to the acquiring team and still be open for restructuring into a signing bonus to be prorated and reduce his cap number.
