Yeah, Pack93z,

I think Longwell just wanted to be able to finish his career in a dome. I really do think that was his primary motivation in leaving GB.

It seems the Vikings do an awful lot of courting of the Packers players and personnel. Is this valid or just goofy thinking?

Off the top of my head, here's some names that were with the Packers, then joined Vikings.

Darrell Bevell
Darren Sharper
Robert Ferguson
Ryan Longwell
Brett Favre
Greg Jennings


Vikings also pursued Aaron Kampman and James Jones, who both later resigned with the Packers.


Gilbert Brown is the only one I can think of that the Packers plucked from Vikings.


Edit, I thought this was funny from ProFootballTalk "In a rarity, the Vikings will be showing Packers highlights on their website to help celebrate the arrival of Greg Jennings." lol ...
