The Minnesota Vikings and Green Bay Packers are one of the most fierce rivalries in the NFL. Throughout their storied history players have left one team and gone to the other, many times out of spite. A couple notable players to leave the Packers and go to the Vikings were Ryan Longwell, Darren Sharper, and of course Greg Jennings.
Jennings was a player who seemingly went out of spite because he felt slighted by Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers franchise as a whole for not signing him to a long term deal. And then there is one name that Packer and Vikings fans will remember for the ultimate betrayal.
Brett Favre.
He decided to play for the Minnesota Vikings after a stint with the Jets, and Packers fans were furious, some still have not forgiven him. Now, it might be the Packers turn to poach a big name from the Vikings.
On this Tuesday, we read about a potential Viking star going to the Packers, an opposing coach’s view on Aaron Rodgers, Tramon Williams’ future with the Packers, and a former Packer who opts out of the season.
