Vikings’ DE Danielle Hunter has an $18 million roster bonus due today and, barring an unforeseen change, Minnesota plans to pay it and tie the two-time Pro Bowl selection to its team for the remaining two years on his contract, per league source.

God I hope this is true. But that "unforeseen change" could be a team buckling under and giving the Vikings their asking price.

That when someone is butthurt, there is a lot of speculation and hand wringing but don't worry it will happen again next year.

That Cousins' contract isn't and wasn't linked to Hunter's?

I don't think that is it at all. I think he is taking his time and analyzing the situation. He has to consider the Wilfs and what they want as well as his coach and his plan. It's a mixed bag. There is some retooling and rebuilding even though it is coded as winning now. I don't think that is reasonable and realistic. There was not going to be a magical waving of the wand. But there are still new people with new ideas and I think there are going to be some surprises. I don't think free agency was going to be about the big splash and sexy signings. I don't think that could happen with the situation that they were dealt with. We'll see how it plays out. I am not on the ledge or giving up just yet.

 I'm no Cap expert, but wouldn't the Roster Bonus become Dead Cap money for the Vikings after they pay it? It wouldn't transfer with a trade so I'm assuming the Vikings are all in on Hunter for the next two years he is under contract.

Im hoping so.  In the dirt or upright---this is one athletic dude barring a fluke injury.  I see him stepping right back into beast mode and wreaking havoc
