Danielle Hunter

When I look back on the plethora of mistakes this franchise routinely makes, I think letting Hunter walk in free agency for nothing was one of the biggest. This guy continues to be one of the best overall players in the league. Already has 11 sacks this year and has that Houston defense the #1 ranked unit in football. His numbers alone dictate he'll be in the Hall of Fame....and we let him walk....for nothing. If there was never any intention of re-signing him (somehow) then trade him and get something for him. He had 16.5 sacks his last season with us and we just let him inexplicably walk out the door as a free agent. Just mind boggling

The question I have is were they really in a position to get something in return given the situation?

I dont recall the specifics anymore.

They do get credit from me for Gink/Greenard signings as they were both exemplary gets.

I wouldnt give those two up for Danielle.

Greenard and Van Ginkel have a combined 5 sacks on the season. Down year for both. Hunter has been consistently good throughout his career and also sets the edge against the run. I don't know, it's just frustrating to see a guy who's been so consistently good like Hunter has and know we let him walk for nothing. But it's how the Vikings and ownership do it because they think they are contenders every year when they really aren't and will hold on to guys instead of moving them for assets when there's no intention of re-signing them.
