Vikings DE Danielle Hunter seeking trade - Bengalholic - 03-15-2021
#Vikings stud pass-rusher, Danielle Hunter, is exploring a trade request from the team via @ChadGraff

Hunter has 54.5 career sacks since entering the league as a 3rd rounder in 2015. https://t.co/hu2QTz2cf3
#Vikings star DE Danielle Hunter is unhappy with his contract situation and is exploring all options, including a possible trade request, per @ChadGraff. Hunter signed a 5-year, $72M deal in 2018, which comes out to $14.4M per year. Highest paid DE is nearly double that.

Bad year to try to force a trade for more money lol. Draft Picks and Cap Space are at a premium.

Yea, that comes across a bit tone-deaf but shooters shoot I guess.

I don't see them spending 20+ on any DE even with Burrow's rookie deal.
Or giving up the picks needed to get a top pass rusher.

I remember it taking years for the Bengals to spend a dime on FA as they believed at the time that FA were over-paid and there was no loyalty require from outside players.
Last year, the Bengals opened their wallet which had to be a poison pill for those like Mike Brown. I cannot believe the Bengals would spend 20+ mil on a DL player, ever. I think the Bengals will pay for their own to a point, at least for skilled players like QB. But not line players, even though DE is considered a premium player.

Aside from Aaron Donald, a healthy JJ Watt, Von Miller, and TJ Watt... I am not sure there's another pass rusher even worth $20m+/yr. That's an awful lot to drop on only one half of a pair.

Teams like Jets and Jags have the cap space to work a deal and Vikes create some cap room for maybe a 2nd round pick which is almost like a first as they pick early in round.

I thought about adding him to that list, briefly, but dude's only been healthy 2/5 seasons.
While I did add JJ Watt on my list, who also hasn't been healthy, his ceiling is leaps and bounds above Bosa's so far. 3x DPoY, 2x 20.0+ sacks... that's worth a bit of injury risk. I'd want potential like that if I was paying a guy $20m+/yr who hasn't been healthy.

Won't happen, great player though. Just way too spendy. We need both OL and DL. Hunter would make the OL suffer.
