Hunter will receive $17 million guaranteed, the source said. Hunter can earn $3 million in sack incentives, and the new agreement prohibits the Vikings from using the franchise or transition tag on him next season, a source confirmed.

Sources said the Vikings had evaluated trade options for Hunter, who had skipped organized team activities and mandatory minicamp as he sought an increase on his $4.9 million base salary for this season prior to the new agreement.

Hunter played under former LSU head coach Les Miles from 2012 to 2014 and was a third-round draft pick by the Vikings in 2015.

In June of 2018, Hunter and the Vikings agreed to a five-year, $72 million contract extension with $40 million in guarantees and a $15 million signing bonus.
