Hunter
Is there any word on Hunter? Seems awfully quiet for a top 5 free agent nearly 24 hours into the tamper window.
Maybe, there is so much interest that he's letting the bidding war play itself out, or maybe he wants to get wined and dined for a week or so, or maybe the money isn't as big as his agent thought it would be and he's still in play to stay? Probably not, but I do find it odd that Sam Darnold and a few others have new deals and Hunter is like he not even a free agent.
Why isn't Chuck Foreman in the Hall of Fame?
I thought of that this morning as well.....
Heard the Bears were one of the teams interested in Hunter. Which wouldn’t be fun playing him twice a year.

It's only a matter of time for Hunter.
I say the 49ers.
Probably some teams creating additional cap space to fit in Hunter (i.e., a contender with tighter cap space).
With more thought, I am guessing Zimmer wants Hunter in Dallas and Dallas is trying to figure out how to make it happen. This would help the appearance of the Cowboys going all in.
The Niners were interested but they signed 2 guys instead…?
I read speculation that the Rams were in the mix.
I heard he's on the Baskin-Robbins free agent tour, fielding offers from 31 different flavored teams. :o =)
You have to wonder do the Viking coaches and Kwesi know something about Hunter and that's the reason they didn't attempt to sigh him? Pretty odd that a guy almost everybody thought was a must resign is still available.
I have always been a fan of Hunters. The dude looks like a chiseled god. Always put up great stats. HOWEVER my impression is he has never been made a huge impact player... game in and game out. Example.. Remember Jared Allen? That dude seemed to always come up big when we needed him the most. Hunter puts up great numbers but don't have memories of him taking over at critical times. He is the Kirk Cousins of DE. lol

Pretty odd that a guy almost everybody thought was a must resign is still available.I’m sure they tried, but he wants $30 million a year and has at least 3 teams trying to get a deal down right now.
@"Greylock" said: You have to wonder do the Viking coaches and Kwesi know something about Hunter and that's the reason they didn't attempt to sigh him? Pretty odd that a guy almost everybody thought was a must resign is still available.Two thoughts to this -- either (a) Vikings really messed up by not trading him this past season or (b) Vikings couldn't trade him last season because of whatever is non-public.
Additional thought; Hunter is the anti-Cousins. While Cousins has repeatedly maximized his compensation, Hunter has repeatedly done bad deals or set himself up in a position to be underpaid. His agent should have known already where he was going to sign.
Additional thought: His medicals may be taking time or frightening off teams.
Signed in Houston. Two year deal
@"supafreak84" said: Signed in Houston. Two year dealCould be worth up to 51 million for the two years
@"1VikesFan" said:So Houston wouldn't pay Greenard but was willing to shell out big bucks for Hunter. The Vikes, on the other hand, wouldn't pay Hunter, but would shell out the big $$s for Greenard. Interesting...@"supafreak84" said: Signed in Houston. Two year deal Could be worth up to 51 million for the two years
We essentially swapped Greenard for Hunter, who goes back to playing in a 4-3 under Demeco Ryan's that suits his strengths better. If he's healthy he'll absolutely be one of the league leaders in sacks opposite Will Anderson. I hate losing Hunter, hate losing him for nothing even more..
