On Thursday night, it was reported that cornerback Chandon Sullivan was taking a visit to Minnesota. For the Vikings, this move makes sense with the team looking to upgrade its secondary quite a bit this offseason. However, on the Green Bay Packers’ end, the Vikings’ interest in Sullivan represents just another attempt by an NFC North rival to poach one of the team’s free agents.
Prior to Sullivan, the most recent example of a former Packer moving to a divisional opponent was just this past Tuesday. Za’Darius Smith also inked with the Vikings, pairing the sack artist with Danielle Hunter to give Minnesota what it hopes is an elite pass-rushing tandem.
