Hunter is considering holding out, seeking a trade, or firing his agent. Since the article was posted Sunday, Danielle Hunter has expressed his loyalty to his agent and does not plan on firing him.
One thing that stood out is that Danielle Hunter did not rule out sitting out the 2021 season or requesting a trade. Hunter's contract has him making $14.4 million per year.
