Reports surfaced this week that defensive end Everson Griffen and the Green Bay Packers have mutual interest in each other.
Every Vikings’ fan holds back tears and blames Aaron Rodgers.
Griffen has spent all 10 seasons of his career in Minnesota after being drafted in the fourth round of the 2010 NFL Draft. He has 74.5 career sacks and has made the Pro Bowl four times throughout his career.
If Griffen were to sign with the Packers, he wouldn’t be the first player to jump ship between the rivalry and he won’t be the last.
The most famous example is Brett Favre, but there’s also been Greg Jennings, Darren Sharper, Ryan Longwell and Robert Ferguson.
The hope for the Vikings is that this move falls through, especially since Mike Zimmer said that he’d love to have Griffen back on the team in 2020 opposite of Danielle Hunter.
We’ll see if those two games against the Packers this year hold any more importance to them than they already do.
