A couple years before Tuesday, when Za'Darius Smith agreed to a three-year contract to join the Vikings, he was a Pro Bowl pass rusher for the Packers when he connected with Danielle Hunter at the all-star game in January 2020.
Hunter had a premonition, signing a Vikings jersey for Smith that spelled out their futures.
"Hopefully we'll be on the same team one day," Smith recalled what Hunter wrote. "And that day has come."
Smith joined the long list of former Packers standouts to cross the Wisconsin border and join the Vikings, agreeing to a deal worth up to $47 million, according to two league sources with knowledge of the negotiations.
