In the Vikings Daily Opener for August 3rd, 2023, listeners can find a comprehensive update on the team's recent moves and player updates. Check out the latest Vikings Daily Opener for updates on Danielle Hunter's contract, Alexander Mattison's injury, the signing of Christian DiLauro, and the state of the Vikings' safety position. Plus, a look at the history of the #38 on the team.

The show starts with exciting news on Danielle Hunter's restructured contract, which includes a $5.5 million signing bonus, $10 million base salary, $1.5 million per game roster bonuses, and $3 million incentives. The Vikings decided to absorb a significant portion of the cap hit in 2023 instead of pushing it out further, making a bold move that shows their commitment to Hunter for the foreseeable future. The article also notes that the Vikings have approximately $10.27 million remaining in 2023 salary cap space, which could potentially be used to extend Justin Jefferson and T.J. Hockenson this season.

The podcast also includes an update on Alexander Mattison's injury, which he described as not too serious, and the signing of offensive tackle Christian DiLauro, who is expected to provide depth to the offensive line. The article then delves into the state of the Vikings' safety position, which is expected to be highly competitive. Harrison Smith and Camryn Bynum were asked to play mostly deep in a Cover-2 shell or in quarters last year, but the hope is that they will be able to play more effectively this year. The article notes that Smith can still play at an All-Pro level, and Flores is going to use him in a versatile way. Bynum is expected to be the starter, but Lewis Cine is fighting for the job and is expected to push Bynum. Jay Ward is also a wild card who could be utilized in a variety of ways.

Finally, the Dave takes a look at the history of the number 38 on the Vikings, highlighting standout players like Todd Scott and Bob Tucker, and discussing the current wearer of the number, Jaylin Williams. Readers can also find a reference to the Real Forno Show's analysis of the Vikings' safeties for the upcoming season, which provides a deeper dive into the potential trio of Cine, Ward, and Bynum. With only 38 days until the season opener, Vikings fans won't want to miss this comprehensive update on the team's recent moves and player updates. Skol Vikings!
