It has been reported that Danielle Hunter, the star pass rusher for the Minnesota Vikings, plans to skip the team’s mandatory minicamp.
This comes as no surprise, as there has been a disagreement between Hunter and the Vikings regarding his contract situation. Hunter had already chosen to skip voluntary offseason workouts earlier.
Last week, there were reports that the Vikings had received trade calls for Danielle Hunter, indicating that other teams may be interested in acquiring him.
Hunter is set to earn $5.5 million in 2023 after the team restructured his contract in previous years.
The Vikings had hoped to reach a short-term agreement for 2023 but could not come to terms with Hunter, who is likely seeking a long-term, lucrative contract.
By skipping the mandatory minicamp, Hunter will be subjected to rolling fines for each day he is absent. The Vikings are going through a transition period, parting ways with several veterans, including running back Dalvin Cook, last week.
