Implications for Hunter if he holds out
#1
If Danielle holds out for the year, he loses a potential maximum of $12.75 million of salary this year. He also has to pay back $ 5 million in prorated signing bonus money. And he contract tolls, meaning he would still be under contract for 3 more years.

he wouldnt hold out for the whole year,  I think Ive read they can report in October and still get credit for the year and only suffer the lost game checks.  I do think its premature to be talking about any holdout,  let alone an extended one.

Yep. Melvin Gordon did this a few years ago with LAC. Holding out didn’t really work out for him, but DEs are valued a lot more around the league than RB. Talking holdouts is premature but the Hunter situation is becoming hard to ignore.

I don’t know if we “NEED” him in order for the team to be good, but he would certainly help a lot. Awesome player. 

EDIT- And for anyone who’s thinking “he has 3 years left and was hurt last year, he better play!” You’re right. But it’s not 1995 or even 2005 anymore. The odds he plays all 3 years or even 2 more seasons on his current deal is somewhere around the likelihood of that Kate Upton/Barr rendevous finally happening.

Hunter is going to get paid.....and the Vikings knew he signed an advantageous deal. Its June 1st, hopefully he'll be signed by early August.

On whose part? I think both sides have legit arguments. But y'know what? We don't even know that there IS an argument.

I sort of think that sometime in late summer Hunter gets a new contract that pays him more in line with his performance. At that point, we'll likely hear that there never was a hold out threat and there never was any unwillingness on the Vikings' part to re-do the deal. So far, all of this is just speculation and hearsay on the parts of b-team reporters and the twit-o-verse. We'll see...
