The Vikings’ new pass rush duo of Danielle Hunter and Za’Darius Smith is already working together, as Minnesota converted Hunter’s $18M roster bonus into a signing bonus, creating $13.5M in 2022 cap space that helps fit Smith into the picture, per source.

Huge news. As big as the Smith signing. I don't think they can trade him now. The cap hit would be outrageous. They must feel pretty good that he is not going to hold out once he has his $18.5M in hand.

Now go get Tretter and a CB (Bates would be nice, too) and put a bow on FA. Get a top CB (or 2) in the draft and we're looking pretty good. This has been a big day for this team.

ED Danielle Hunter’s deal if traded:

2022 - $1.9m

2023 - $5.4m
Vikings dead cap - $29.48m

Can we stop the idea he’s going to get traded this offseason - not happening!

We will need to see how the numbers shake out first as the draft is anticipated to cost us $9.5-$10MM in cap space this year. Do something with Kendricks and Cook's contracts and that should put us in a reasonable place to sign at least Tretter.

Hey @"Geoff Nichols" , hearing anything on our interior OL possibilities…?

They still want to extend Bates an offer sheet. Just a matter on him finishing his visits. Billy Turner is on their radar as well.

That officially ends the trade discussion. There was never really a point in adding Za'Darius without Hunter being here since they compliment each other so well.

Isn’t Turner a tackle? I suppose Tretter is out of our price range?

For those wondering, I had the Vikings at $19.3M in cap space including the Hunter conversion but before the signings of Sean Mannion and Za’Darius Smith. Need to wait on those details.

They could restructure Dalvin Cook & Eric Kendricks to free up another $9.588M in cap space

He's played everywhere but center I think. Started 13 games at RG for the Packers in 2019. RT the last couple seasons.
