Vikings Rumors: Danielle Hunter Trade Offers Haven't Been 'Substantial'

Ahead of what's expected to be action-packed NFL trade deadline, the Minnesota Vikings—who are expected to be sellers—have yet to receive a substantial offer for star pass rusher Danielle Hunter, according to The Athletic's Diana Russini.

Russini reported that the organization has taken calls regarding the three-time Pro Bowler but haven't heard anything that has caught their attention.

Through the first six weeks of the season Hunter is tied for the NFL lead in sacks with eight and is likely Minnesota's best trade chip ahead of the deadline.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported earlier this week that the Vikings weren't interested in dealing Hunter after the former Second-Team All-Pro signed a one-year deal to return to the team in the offseason.

It would reportedly take a "sizable offer" for a team to land Hunter this year.

While they haven't had the best of starts to this campaign, the Vikings believe they are still not completely out of playoff contention and feel that Hunter could be a very valuable piece to keeping them in the chase down the stretch.

At 2-4 they are not too far out of a potential Wild Card spot.

In terms of the rest of its trade deadline prospects, Minnesota still doesn't plan on sending quarterback Kirk Cousins anywhere, per Russini.
