Pass rusher Danielle Hunter has agreed to a new contract with the Minnesota Vikings for the 2023 season that could be worth up to $20 million and guarantees the three-time Pro Bowl selection $17 million, NFL Network reported Sunday.

Hunter was slated to earn $5.5 million this season, and this new deal reportedly has a clause that prevents Minnesota from using the franchise tag on Hunter – making him an unrestricted free agent next year.

Hunter was selected by Minnesota in the third round of the 2015 NFL Draft. He has 71 sacks in 102 games, including a team-best 10.5 last season when the Vikings won the NFC North with a 13-4 record.
