Vikings convert Hunter's bonus, clear $13.5 million in cap

Post by J. Kapp 11 »

Per Field Yates at ESPN:
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.
Very quietly, Kwesi has cleared about $43 million in cap space this offseason. Kind of winning in the margins, as one article put it.

Now let's go get JC Tretter to play center, and maybe a veteran quarterback who can play man-to-man defense. Then go have a helluva draft.

Go ahead. I dare you.
Underestimate this man.

Oops.

I meant cornerback.

Give me a break. I made that post on my phone, and I'm old.

Me too. Just having fun. I knew what you meant.

But love picturing Tom Brady just locking down a receiver. :lol:

Some what disappointing with them not really doing much for the offense.

From what I have been hearing Tretter has a bad knee and ankle. Wasn’t even practicing last year.
Just playing on game day.

Mannion is just terrible. Cousins has been in the league for 10 years. Shouldn’t need anybody to mother him.

Some type of injury must have other teams not jumping for him. I thought we would the second we knew he was a FA. Gotta be the knee.
