The Houston Texans and Minnesota Vikings have engaged in a significant player swap involving pass rushers. Danielle Hunter is moving from the Vikings to the Texans, while Jonathan Greenard is going from the Texans to the Vikings. The Texans are making strategic moves to strengthen their defense, aiming to compete with top teams like the Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens.
Vikings have swapped out both of their 2023 edge rushers. As Wonnum signs in Carolina, and Danielle Hunter is introduced in Houston, Jonathan Greenard and Andrew Van Ginkel are speaking to reporters in Minnesota. https://t.co/HfjbT81obK

Love the Texans’ signing of star edge Danielle Hunter. Should be a terror opposite Will Anderson, and this is a GREAT way to take advantage of having CJ Stroud on a rookie deal.
On defense. The Texans replaced Jonathan Greenard with Danielle Hunter. Texans replaced Blake Cashman with Azeez Al-Shaair Potentially have a new starting DT in Denico Autry. They trying to take that next step to compete with KC/BAL. They felt these moves close the gap.
In the end… Jonathan Greenard went from Houston to Minnesota. Danielle Hunter went from Minnesota to Houston. https://t.co/pezdUcKSbc
The Texans and Vikings basically just swapped pass rushers -- Danielle Hunter for Jonathan Greenard.
