Once the Minnesota Vikings get over the hump of free agency, the 2023 NFL Draft, and perhaps contract extensions for Justin Jefferson and T.J. Hockenson, a familiar topic will likely permeate Vikings-themed discussions — Danielle Hunter’s money.

It doesn’t often happen for players of Hunter’s caliber, especially as the NFL’s money market resets annually.
