The Vikings are adding a defensive back who has plenty of familiarity with the NFC North.

Cornerback Chandon Sullivan is signing with Minnesota, according to agency Katz Brothers Sports.

Sullivan took a visit with Minnesota this week. He spent the last three years with the Packers appearing in all 49 regular-season games. In 2021, he played 17 contests with 10 starts, recording three interceptions and four passes defensed. He was on the field for 77 percent of Green Bay’s defensive snaps.

Sullivan entered the league as an undrafted free agent with the Eagles in 2018. He was waived in the 2019 offseason and signed with the Packers.

Overall, Sullivan has played 54 games with 21 starts. He’s caught five picks, forced one fumble, and recorded 16 passes defensed.

  1. Old cheese ages like a fine wine when it’s given a cool environment where it can breathe.

  2. That settles it,… Rodgers knows what CB to pick on when GB plays the Vikings. He’s a nice kid,… but he has issues in coverage. That’s why GB didn’t make an offer.

  3. Yeah everyone except Rodgers, Devondre Campbell, Rasul Douglas and Robert Tonyan. Plus anyone else that is currently under contract.

    Guess those guys don’t count eh?

    Kind of looks like everyone is running away from the land of cheeseheads

    When the QB makes $50 Mil a year not much left for the rest.

  5. Is he really better than what we have already? His stats don’t impress me that much but I can’t say I’m familiar with his play.

  6. He can’t possibly be any worse than the current corners. Anything that keeps Kris Boyd off the field is good news.

  7. nobody wants to be in green bay. It takes well over top dollar to get players to have to live there. E.g. Rodgers

  8. its rare a team doesn’t draft at least one DB a year while Sullivan added good depth, They have Stokes Jaire, and Rasul, Amos, and Savage.

    If he ran away maybe it is cuz he was hoping for more playing time.

  9. Ariani is trying to find a way to spin this as proving his long-time assessment of the relative worth of the GB and MN defenses.

  10. All the purses are empty in greenbay and people need to eat.

    Just another poor cap management casualty.

    Huh? With Davontes fat contract now in Vegas, Green Bay is on great shape with the cap. They just have better players and no room for Sullivan.

  12. You are right, maybe he is sick of playing on the hapless packer defense?

    so he joined the helpless Viking defense.

    Lol, your team is paying Kirk Cousins $40 million this year

  14. He can’t be any worse than Mac Alexander was, which was a surprise as I always thought he had potential. As usual, the devil is in the details. If its a team friendly contract like Dz Smith, no worries at all.

  15. Poor guy went from a top 10 defense to the 27th ranked laughing stock. Proves it really is all about the money, but I see why we didn’t keep him being we have three of the top db’s in the league already.

  16. This is great news for Chandon and I’m very happy he got his well deserved new deal.
    He performed diligently in Green Bay for 3 seasons and his efforts were greatly appreciated.
    Glad he’s found a new home to continue his career.

    Judging from his past, I envision Sullivan will continue to work just as hard in Loserville.
    New and exciting challenges await as he helps his new team fend off the Lions and Bears.
    Congrats!

  17. Look, I know that the packers are the laughing stock of playoff football so maybe he just wants a new start?

    But GB did make him an offer. He stated that he wanted a fresh start and has familiarity with the MN coaches.

    You forgot to paste the word: Casualty

  21. Green Bay is on great shape with the cap.

    Green Bay is bloated…as always

    paraphrasing? hard to see how he was a “casualty” when Green Bay indicated they were interested in having him back (meaning he’s not persona non grata like, say, Everson).

    Unless of course Minnesota offered him more money? watch those logic errors….

    He we go, right on schedule. When debate is lost, losers use slander. You’re their king.

  24. Look, the Packers have resigned a lot of terrific players, they’ve lost a number of talented players, it’s been much more of a revamp than a rebuild. Having said that “losing” Sullivan is absolutely no loss. Nice kid, but his grades have been trending down for the past 2 seasons. Simply the weakest link and no need to overspend to resign.
    The packers hired the best special teams coach and and his assistant in the NFL available this off season so what so one would expect that phase of the game will be much improved.

    The defense right now is scary good and loaded. The Packers need to sort out their wide receiver room, which I’m confident they will.
    Anyway you care to spin it, the Packers will be the team to beat in the NFC North again this year and not by a small margin.

  25. The biggest difference among all NFCN teams and their expectations for success is still Aaron Rodgers. Nothing has changed.

  26. I was hoping the fascination with Green Bay cast-offs would end when Spielman left. Does viking management really think the fifth best CB from Green Bay’s horrible defense is going to help our defense? Don’t understand how we’re going to be the best team in division tying up salary dollars with other other team’s rejects.

    You won’t compete for best in the division this season. Sorry, not happening. New defensive scheme. Less talent than has been there in 6 years.

    For all the chatter about how good the offense can be because everyone is returning….in 2019 the Vikings ranked 8th in points, 2020 they ranked 11th, and last year they ranked 14th.

    Fresh new beginning on offense and defense i get it, but expecting both areas to markedly improve at once seems ….. not likely.

  28. Has to be an upgrade from Alexander as a slot corner. Alexander and safety Woods were horrible last year.
