and Oh, Well, good morning everyone. Welcome to another episode of Purple Insider and

emergency podcast as the Minnesota Vikings have given

Daniel Hunter a one year $20 million contract with 17 million guaranteed and the Vikings cannot franchise tag him next year.

And if you're wondering what I look like when I just wake up and what I sound like now you know because I am going to tell you the truth I didn't think there was anything to get out of bed early for today and then woke up,

looked at my phone and realized that a lot of the stuff we talked about last night on the live stream

and my article from yesterday were completely blown up in the first

be a pretty good deal for the Vikings.

You can get something to move up in the draft next year if you want to or just add additional

players in a trade. But if around the league, they were looking at it as that guy wants to be one of the

highest paid in the league, so we're not going to offer you very much and you're in a position where you need to trade him and we're going to offer you a third and that's it.

Well, then the Vikings did the only thing that they could do by resigning
