The Minnesota Vikings and defensive end Danielle Hunter reportedly agreed to a contract extension Wednesday, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero and Mike Garafolo.
Terms of the extension were not immediately released.
Hunter had been set to enter the final year of his contract in 2018 before becoming an unrestricted free agent.
Hunter, 23, had another strong season while coming off the edge in Minnesota, accumulating 45 tackles, seven sacks, a forced fumble and fumble recovery in the 2017 season. While he couldn't replicate his impressive 12.5 sacks from 2016, he remained a pass-rushing threat for Minnesota's staunch defense.
