If the Vikings and pass rusher Danielle Hunter cannot reach common ground on an extension, Minnesota is open to putting the veteran on the trade market, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports. While the Vikings want to sign Hunter long-term, Fowler reports they want him on a deal that matches his age and skill set.
Additionally, according to Fowler, Hunter prefers being traded or released over playing on his current contract.
Hunter is entering the final year of a five-year, $70 million extension, but is set to make a base salary of $4.9 million.

Hamilton was given a five-second penalty, as well has being hit with two penalty points for causing contact with Sergio Pérez
Lewis Hamilton finished Saturday’s F1 Sprint race at the Belgian Grand Prix in fourth position, but a five-second penalty handed down by race officials saw him drop down to seventh place. Beyond that in-race penalty, stewards “reviewed video and in-car video evidence” and not only upheld the penalty, but added two points to Hamilton’s Super Licence for “causing a collision.
Hard work always pays off. Especially when you work a lot harder than you actually have to.
Chicago Bears offensive tackle Darnell Wright absolutely “crushed” his conditioning test, according to GM Ryan Poles.
That’s because all offseason, Wright was accidentally training for the wrong test.
“I was looking at the wide receivers’ running portion of the workout, so I was doing theirs. So then I came back and obviously, we have different (standards),” Wright said.
Earlier this week I wrote about the significance of soccer great Lionel Messi moving to Miami and taking not only his talents, but his celebrity status to Major League Soccer’s Inter Miami.
I mentioned how not only could Messi help grow soccer’s popularity, but that he could also go the way of Ronda Rousey, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson or John Cena in transitioning from their respective sport to Hollywood and pop culture.
I just didn’t know it would happen this fast.
It’s safe to say Lionel Messi won’t be going to Publix anymorepic.twitter.
Where should Ertz play? It used to be a simple question with a simple answer, but injuries have pushed her into defense and created issues elsewhere. It’s vital the USWNT figure this out, and fast.
It’s training camp season, which means NFL fans are always in for a good scuffle or two as guys get after it in pads for the first time in months.
Look no further than the defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs, who had star tight end Travis Kelce start a scuffle at practice on Saturday after finding the end zone on a Patrick Mahomes touchdown pass.
Kelce did not take too kindly to the late hit from Jack Cochrane. Cochrane lightly shoved Kelce after the catch, and Kelce wound up and threw a punch at his teammate.
The Bengals are working out two former XFL quarterbacks—Reid Sinnett and Drew Plitt—with Joe Burrow scheduled to miss several weeks due to a calf strain injury he suffered in practice Thursday, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Sinnett, who had brief stints with the Buccaneers, Dolphins and Eagles, last played for the XFL’s San Antonio Brahmas. However, the team placed him on injured reserve after breaking his foot.
In one game last season, Sinnett threw for 97 yards, one touchdown and one interception.
Alex Pereira lost his middleweight debut.
He is making preparations to ensure that does not happen at light heavyweight.
Pereira makes his light heavyweight debut later tonight at UFC 291 against former division champ Jan Blachowicz. While the focus of the card is the main event between Dustin Poirier and Justin Gaethje, gauging where Pereira stands as a light heavyweight will be a fascinating aspect of the night.
“I was already told if I win this fight, I’ll be fighting for the light heavyweight belt,” says Pereira, speaking through a translator. “It’s time to go get another belt.
As the No. 1 pick and expected Panthers franchise quarterback, Bryce Young has a chance to be a player whom kids admire and idolize. However, he may not be there yet, as evidenced by one interaction with a young fan at training camp.
The Panthers social media account posted a video of Young signing a kid’s jersey at training camp on Saturday, and afterwards Young went to give the pen back to the kid and fist bump him. However, the kid instead took the pen and left Young hanging, leaving the rookie quarterback to fist bump himself in an awkward fashion.
