Vikings trying to trade DE Hunter

[ColeBeasley11]

The funny thing is he had 6 sacks last year Same as Gregory playing less than half the season torn pec.

Ya he’s faster, younger and a better pass rusher.
This would make up for the slow off-season IMO.

Keep an eye on this one for us… the Cowboys are stubborn and will probably come out and say” this was our plan all along”.

give them a 5th.....because it sounds like they are going to cut him as to not to pay signing bonus....5th is better than nothing for them

 

[Carson]

These are the deals the Eagles make.

They will send a 6th to the Vikings for Hunter and a 5th and Minnesota will eat 3/4 of the cap hit.

I don't think a 5th will do it. There will be much stiffer competition for his services than there was for Coop's. More valuable position and his contract is not nearly as bad.

Health provided.

True, but Gregory wasn't always available via injury or suspension either.

Difference is hunter has provided results when he's played.

Absolutely

Let's be fair, Gregory's pressure figures were good.
Not saying I prefer either, but cannot pick and choose based on incomplete subjectivity.

 

[Cowboyny]

What we do know is our LB coach was the DC in Minnesota, where we will fully know what type of player/person Hunter and even Barr is.

I can, we are talking 60 sacks vs 16 with both coming into the league the same time. Danielle has had 14.5 sack seasons twice. Randy Gregory 6. Randy Gregory 25 season high tackles, hunter 72. Easy choice.

 

[DanTanna]

We didn't even CALL Von Miller's rep, and he wanted to come here. Why would we call this guy???

The Miller to Dallas is just speculation.

Every big time player is always linked here. He knew, we knew, the world knew we weren't paying that.

 

[blueblood70]

cool a guy who have played like 5 games the past 2 entire season

sound like a big brain jerry and stephen move

right so irony is this place wanted them to go after Z smith who dint play but a half game last year. only when it suits the narrative huh?. lmao.

 

[AKATheRake]

They’ll cut him if no team trades and accepts that cap hit.

He hasn’t played much the last 2 years and they’re cap strapped.

I would wait and see if he gets cut. That contract is a no, no.

But he is a very effective player when on the field.

 

[jrumann59]

I'm not trading for a man named Danielle.

Just call him Dani...

He makes 26mil this year it would have to be a trade and then immediate new contract offer for it to work. Probably worth our 3rd but if you could swing it for a 4th I would be all in on that

Dont think the Jones boys are going to do 26m a year.
What have they done in the past that gives any hope of that ?

The team that trades for Hunter will get him for about 12.5M on a 2-year deal with most of the money guaranteed.
- The new team will restructure his existing deal such that he will receive the same money and guarantees but the cap his is spread evenly over the 2 years.
- It would be a better deal than signing Gregory if the Vikings would take a 4th or later pick.

Some guys still can't get over being dumped.

20 million per year is probably why. They probably knew that was his price point

 

[DanTanna]

It turned out to be $17.5M for three years, $52M guaranteed. I'd rather have him than any of our current DL for that price. Von doesn't loaf off or use surgeries as leverage - our guys do.

Yea once you break the contract down it wasn’t bad at all, Gregory was getting 14 a year right? And Miller is a lot better.

The comparison isn't the issue or the point, what's incorrect is saying that Gregory didn't perform....he did especially 2021, which in a league of what have you done lately, is the important thing.
When people look solely on: sack numbers, career figures or penalties in critical games it's an incomplete analysis of the player.
If you're talking Hunter or Gregory, you can like the former without having to diminish the latter.
