There are always those players that a lot of fans haven't realized have gotten washed and are therefore shocked when they are traded/released, or players that simply aren't worth the cap hit. So which are those players for your favorite team?

Danielle Hunter. He’s putting up a “give me the bag” type year and has a no-tag clause. He’ll take the opportunity to test FA for sure.

I would cream if the falcons got him - god knows we've needed someone who can get to the QB forever, but I suspect he's going to want a contender to come for him and I suspect they will.

I thought he was leaving, but with the current state of the team I think he stays & I think the team can afford it especially if they go cheap + a rookie at QB.

Its amazing how much better some players play in that contract year. I remember for years and years after we drafted Bud Dupree he was underwhelming. but as soon as his contract year hit, he decides to step up his production big time and become the player we were hoping he'd be, and unaffordable. Then after he gets paid by the Titans he immediately resumes his normal level of play.

Yup. Hunter is a fucking beast and also rarely spoken about in the media as one of the best defensive players this year. I honestly think he stays with the Vikings but I won’t be mad if he tries to get one more massive bag before he’s done

Feel like I haven’t heard his name enough. This year it’s all about Myles Garrett, but Hunter is only 1 sack behind him. He’s nuts, and without a huge QB contract I’m not sure why you guys couldn’t pay him.
