Minnesota Vikings pass rusher Danielle Hunter is planning to hold out from the team's mandatory minicamp this week as questions persist about his future with the team, a source confirmed Monday.
Hunter, 28, is entering the final year of a contract he originally signed in 2018. A renegotiation last year moved a portion of his future compensation up to 2022, leaving him with a deal that calls for him to earn a base salary of $4.9 million in 2023 with weekly roster bonuses that could total $500,000.
He skipped the voluntary portion of the Vikings' offseason program as the sides discussed further contract adjustments, but the decision to hold out raises the stakes of the dispute.
