NFL Rumors: Minnesota Vikings Receiving Calls On Veteran Pass Rusher

The Minnesota Vikings rumour mill has been in overdrive in recent times, and while most of that attention is directed towards Pro Bowl running back Dalvin Cook, it appears the Vikings are open for business, as they are now taking calls on another Pro Bowl caliber player. 

That would be former All-Pro pass rusher Danielle Hunter, who has spent his entire eight year career with Minnesota, racking up 379 tackles, 71 sacks, 1 safety, 7 forced fumbles and 4 fumble recoveries in 102 games, and now, it appears he could be on the move.

He's set to make $5.5 million in 2023, and while it's not clear how willing Minnesota are to make a move, the interest from other teams is very serious, and after an impressive 10.5 sack season in 2022, the Vikings may look to sell high on him now.
