The Jacksonville Jaguars have been tied to Minnesota Vikings pass-rusher Danielle Hunter two different times in the past 12 months.
So, what’s a third time?
In an ESPN article about rumors and other rumblings from Super Bowl week in Las Vegas, the question of Hunter’s future as a projected free-agent was posed. And once again, the Jaguars found themselves in the mix.
“The sense I get here in Vegas is that Danielle Hunter will be hard for the Vikings to keep. He will have a very strong market, he turned 29 in October, and several teams had interest at the trade deadline,” ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler said.
“Chicago could look to add a pass-rusher to complement Montez Sweat in free agency and is very high on Hunter. The Jacksonville Jaguars are another team to watch, though they have to figure out Josh Allen’s future.”
The Jaguars were linked to Hunter twice in 2023: during training camp and around the trade deadline, though the Jaguars ultimately stood pat and made a trade with the Vikings for guard Ezra Cleveland, with Jacksonville sending just a sixth-round pick in return.
