A New Contract for Danielle Hunter?
Let’s talk about the Vikings’ biggest off-season story 3 minutes read
Foremost, it is merited that Minnesota Vikings defensive end Danielle Hunter captures a new contract – at some point. Before the 2020 season commenced, Hunter tallied more sacks than any other player in NFL history by the age of 25.
