As Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins exits-stage-left from the NFL rumor machine, EGDE rusher Danielle Hunter enters. His arrival to the trade-rumor mill is abrupt as the 26-year-old has not publicly mentioned any desire to leave the team. He also has not expressed any form of discontent from his lips, typing fingers, or agent.
But an odd period of weeks exists on the NFL calendar – one that rumors run rampant because that’s the only “news” to digest. Franchises fortify their coaching staffs with new personnel in January, the NFL combine usually occurs in February (not this year – COVID), and then NFL brains wait.
