Vikings converted $6M of Harrison Smith Roster bonus to a signing bonus to save $6M off the cap. No update on Danielle Hunter trade. Teams are offering low-ball compensation(not market value) to Minnesota knowing they are stuck with a disgruntled employee.

If we trade Hunter for pennies on the dollar then that is a huge FU by our first year GM....IMO.

I would also be interested in what others think would be good/decent return on trade prior to it happening so we don't have all the revisionists history

I'll try to put a poll together to "lock" in others thoughts prior to the Hunter decision.

nothing less than a 1 and a 3

in a draft loaded with edge talent,  for a guy coming off 2 injury shortened seasons,  on  a team that is changing schemes and needs cap help.  If we could get an early 2nd round pick I am likely jumping at that right now.  if he had finished the season healthy instead of starting it healthy and then getting hurt.. I would say we are easily looking at a first round and possibly more,  but the injury history on top of the other issues,  day 2 pick and maybe as tip of the cap to Spielman...make em throw in a 7th as well.

EDIT: actually I say the team should bet on Hunter,  take a 3rd rounder this year and a 3rd rounder next year that could go up as high as a first round pick if he meets some performance marks.

How many teams have him off their board on the neck alone? Something similar to what Chicago got for Mack and I'm pulling the trigger. Let the acquiring team bring out the Brinks truck and hope he can stay on the field. Hunter is starting to give off the same bitch vibes as Diggs.

I don't know what the return will or should be, but this is a mess. Mostly the old guard's fault but Kwesi was hired to solve these dilemmas and this is yet another big one. He and the staff need to figure it out by either getting some value or smoothing things over with Danielle. Kwesi has almost certainly been flying by the seat of his pants with everything that's been happening since he was hired only recently, but this situation probably should have been resolved sooner if at all possible. If they're set on trading him then at this point hopefully some team offers a golden parachute.
