Minnesota Vikings News and Links, 6 July 2023

All of us Vikings fans are waiting on the start of training camp and wondering if extensions will be done by that time and/or if Danielle Hunter will be traded. I suspect he will show up to training camp but do a “hold-in” so that he does not get fined.

A “hold-in” is when a player arrives at training camp on time but chooses not to participate in practices because of a contract dispute. It differs slightly from a holdout — when a player avoids the team facility and team activities entirely in the hope of forcing a better contract or a trade.
