Green Bay Packers rival Danielle Hunter, who is a defensive end on the Minnesota Vikings, is in the final year of his contract with the team. He is 28 years old and can very well not be with the team within the next two weeks. Minnesota is 2-4 on the year after defeating the Chicago Bears on Sunday in Week 6 by a final score of 19-13.
Christopher Kline of Fansided has Danielle Hunter linked to the Kansas City Chiefs. He said about the possibility of Danielle Hunter going to the Kansas City Chiefs:
“Kansas City’s offense gets more shine in the national media, but it takes a well-rounded group to win a championship. Jones and the Chiefs’ defense were essential to knocking off Philadelphia in the Super Bowl and Hunter would firmly cement the Chiefs as 2024 favorites. It took the front office longer than expected to reach a contract extension with Jones , but that wouldn’t necessarily stop them from paying Hunter. Plus, there’s every reason for Kansas City to go all-in on this season.”
Kansas City is 5-1 this season, and their defensive front would be even scarier with him and Chris Jones up front. It would increase their chances of winning back-to-back Super Bowl titles, which has not been done since the 2003 and 2004 New England Patriots.
Danielle Hunter on the year has 32 total tackles and eight sacks in six games played with Minnesota. Along with that, he has one forced fumble and two pass deflections. The Green Bay Packers rival is looking to potentially trade away pieces before the October 31 NFL trade deadline. Hunter is going to be a hot name on the market not only for the Kansas City Chiefs but for other NFL playoff-caliber teams that need a pass rusher as well.
The Green Bay Packers Would Be Ecstatic to See their rival Danielle Hunter Traded Away from the Conference Entirely But Do Face Kansas City Chiefs Later This Season However
The Green Bay Packers face the Minnesota Vikings in less than two weeks. That could very well be the last game that Danielle Hunter plays in a Minnesota uniform before the NFL trade deadline. Hunter is one of the best pass rushers in the NFL, and the Packers and their fanbase would be ecstatic if Hunter left the division entirely beforehand or after that.
Green Bay, however, would face the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, December 3, in primetime on Sunday night football at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin. If he were traded to Kansas City, the Packers fanbase would have to potentially worry about how to block Chris Jones and Danielle Hunter.
The offensive line has been struggling as of late. Quarterback Jordan Love can very well get pounded against that defensive front when the time comes. A lot can happen between now and then. For that game, Kansas City could be getting in control for the number one seed in the AFC, and Green Bay will be either on the bubble for a wild card spot in the NFC or out of the playoff picture entirely.
Whoever lands Danielle Hunter is going to be one lucky team. The Packers can be affected by this in so many different ways.
