below is an explanation of hunter's revised contract - imo it looks very advantageous for the Vikings, the details not being what many journalists had described...the new deal is through the 2023 season like before...the balance on the new deal is the exact amount that was on the original contract, but we're giving much of it to hunter upfront - $5m+ in 2021 and $18m in 2022 - to keep the salary cap hits low, the $18m can be converted into a signing bonus that is spread out through the remaining '22 and '23 years and two dead years beyond that....

people talk about it like they expect the vikings and hunter's people to work out another new deal in early 2022, but if that doesn't happen this deal will suffice....



Hunter’s deal originally had three years remaining, and in the reworking Corry said the Vikings added two voidable years, but that they have added no new money. Most notably, the Vikings moved $7.25 million of salary from 2023 to 2022 and provided an $18 million roster bonus due on the fifth day of the new league year next March. Corry said the $18 million could end up being converted to a signing bonus and spread out over four years.

It’s likely the deal will be redone again in some manner by next March. But in the event there are issues with negotiations, Corry said there is language in the contract likely eliminating any possibility of a 2022 holdout by Hunter.

“If they’re at an impasse, they’re miles apart, they’ll convert the ($18 million) bonus and then go from there,” Corry said on the podcast. “And he’s now boxed himself in where he will lose this $18 million if he has a training-camp holdout. Smart move by the Vikings. … They didn’t give him a hammer of leverage where they’re basically at his mercy and have to do what he wants to get done, and otherwise they have to cut him.”

NFL Media previously reported some details on Hunter’s contract. Corry confirmed Hunter will have $5.6 million of his $12.15 million base salary in 2021 converted to a signing bonus. Because two voidable years were added to the deal, there will be $1.12 million counting on the salary cap in each of next five seasons through 2025, enabling Minnesota to save $4.48 million on the cap in 2021.

Corry said on the podcast that Hunter’s cap number will drop from $17.25 million to $12.77 million in 2021. He said the Vikings will pay his $100,000 workout bonus even though he missed OTAs and will guarantee a $500,000 roster bonus he has for games played. So that leaves him with all of his $12.75 million guaranteed in 2021 after previously having just $3.3 million guaranteed.

Although Hunter’s contract is likely to be reworked by next March, Corry said Hunter is now on the books for a $26.12 million cap number in 2022, but it could be dropped to $12.62 million if the $18 million roster bonus is turned into a signing bonus and spread out. In addition to the $18 million, Hunter also has on the books in 2022 a $1.4 million base salary, a $500,000 roster bonus for games played and a $100,000 workout bonus.

Corry said Hunter is now on the books in 2023 for a $4.9 million base salary, $500,000 games-played bonus and a $100,000 workout bonus for a total of $5.5 million. Corry said a total of $38.25 million had been left on Hunter’s contract before the reworking, and that hasn’t changed.

With the Vikings saving $4.48 million on the cap for 2021, they now have about $14.8 million of cap room. That number will drop to about $14.5 million when third-round draft picks Chazz Surratt, Wyatt Davis and Patrick Jones II are signed since they will displace other players on Minnesota’s top-51 salary list.

So essentially the only good for Hunter out of this is "So that leaves him with all of his $12.75 million guaranteed in 2021 after previously having just $3.3 million guaranteed."? I understand wanting the money guaranteed, but what would have driven his worries about not getting it all anyway?

The way I understand it was that Hunter's main worry was that he comes out in 2021 and delivers on the same level he did in 2018 and 2019 and would be still stuck in a contract that paid him about $13 million per year. With the change, he now gets $12.75 million up front and if he plays awesome then he gets $20 million in 2022 at a minimum but most likely gets a lucrative extension because the cap hit is $26 million.

we can lower the cap hit by converting the $18m to a signing bonus - that takes $13.5m out of the 2022 cap hit....

maybe hunter just loves up front money....

If hunter balls out in 2021 the team will redo his deal. The object of being a franchise is to win a title - not see how low you can pay your most talented and productive players. This whole ‘you signed a deal now live up to it’ line of thinking is absurd.

Basically Hunter's contract was set up to force both parties to the table by March.

Could have been a number of things:

1) He wanted more money, this was the best he could get and believes he can cash in next year
2) He decided to do a face saving deal once he realized his limited leverage
3) He is worried about his *neck* and wanted the guarantee

My optimistic side says #2... there has been some buzz via Paul Allen that he has bad influences in his ear.

I don't want to think about #3.

i think that spielman's attitude is 'we'll pay hunter when cousins is off the books'...in 2023...now, the Vikings winning a super bowl this season could be the worst thing for Danielle - we extend cousins for a couple of more seasons and there's no money for a top tier defensive end in our budget....

the upside for danielle hunter is that the vikings are going to give him over $30m in cash over the next eight months - hunter doesn't give a shit about cap numbers - 'real money' is what he likes...he's become addicted to 'upfront' money via the restructures that we've done with him in the past....

in 2023 hunter is scheduled to receive only $5.5m in new money, with a cap hit of $8.6m - the media is going to go ape shit if/when that happens....

the upside for danielle hunter is that the vikings are going to give him over $30m in cash over the next eight months - hunter doesn't give a shit about cap numbers - 'real money' is what he likes...he's become addicted to 'upfront' money via the restructures that we've done with him in the past....

in 2023 hunter is scheduled to receive only $5.5m in new money, with a cap hit of $8.6m - the media is going to go ape shit if/when that happens....

Nope. The Vikings are pushing paying him back to where the salary cap explodes. It's going exponentially in the coming years. If they win the win the Superbowl, they could theoretically extend Cousins and pay Hunter.

i think that spielman's attitude is 'we'll pay hunter when cousins is off the books'...in 2023...now, the Vikings winning a super bowl this season could be the worst thing for Danielle - we extend cousins for a couple of more seasons and there's no money for a top tier defensive end in our budget....

and when the players see that growth they will quickly agree to 18 game season.

Salaries are not going to somehow jump 11% because of two more games.

But injuries will likely increase...

David Decastro just got released by the Steelers. Would be a worthwhile pickup - but then what would we do with either Cleveland or Davis?

What if either or both get hurt. Or let Davis marinade on the bench for a season.

Vs being thin on the IOL and having Dozier,Samia,or Cole to play
