Vikings position up for grabs No. 2

Edge rusher

The media has been talking about the Minnesota Vikings and their situation at quarterback non-stop since the start of the offseason but the team also has a massive issue on the defensive side of the ball that could be a major problem.

Danielle Hunter is coming off a career-year and is set to be paid as one of the top edge rushers in the NFL. A team will likely offer him an absurdly large contract that will be nearly impossible for the Vikings to match.

Hunter isn't the only edge rusher that is set to hit free agency this offseason. Marcus Davenport and D.J. Wonnum could both be testing free agency if they aren't re-signed before they hit the open market on March 13.

Considering how aggressive Brian Flores can be with the Minnesota Vikings defense and the youth at in the secondary, making sure there are quality pass rushers available needs to be a top priority this offseason.
