At Niners Wire, a case was made by Kyle Madson for the 49ers to try trading for Danielle Hunter. For a potential return, Madson proposed the idea of the 49ers sending breakup QB Trey and a 2024 fourth-round pick.
“As with all trades, it’ll depend on how many teams are in the mix and what kind of bidding war goes on for his services. The Vikings will likely get a third-round compensatory pick if he leaves, so that’s where the bidding figures to start. A second-round selection in 2024 and perhaps another late Day 2 or early Day 3 pick in 2025 might get it done…
“If San Francisco’s coaching staff and front office have genuinely seen enough of Lance to believe he won’t be their starter at any point, then it’s easy to see them prioritizing their pass rush, making that move, and relying on a Purdy-Darnold-Allen trio to get them through the season.
It’d be a pretty significant risk, but the 49ers have clarified how valuable they think game-wrecking pass rushers are. Lance and one of the 49ers’ 2024 third-round picks could be enough to get the Vikings in on a trade.”
In the 2018 offseason, Danielle Hunter got a massive five-year contract extension worth $72 million from the Minnesota Vikings. He isn’t able to play in the 2020 season due to a brutal injury. He also missed seven games in the 2021 season.
In the 2021 season, he was active and recorded 10.5 sacks en route to his third career Pro Bowl nod.
