Free agent cornerback Chandon Sullivan is leaving the Green Bay Packers to sign with the Minnesota Vikings, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. - Sullivan, 25, spent the last three seasons with the Packers. He played in 49 games and made 20 starts while tallying 102 tackles, five interceptions and 16 pass breakups. - Sullivan was on the field for over 1,900 defensive snaps for the Packers since 2019. He was a full-time starter at slot corner over the last two seasons, playing roughly 1,600 snaps. - The Packers are moving forward with Jaire Alexander, Eric Stokes and Rasul Douglas at cornerback, although it’s unclear who will take over for Sullivan in the slot. It’s possible all three cornerbacks will get a chance to move inside and cover the slot depending on the situation and matchup. - Last season, Sullivan intercepted a career-high three passes but also gave up four touchdown passes. His overall grade at Pro Football Focus has dropped each of the last two seasons, and he received poor grades in coverage and against the run in 2021. - It’s possible Sullivan could be the full-time starter in the slot for the Vikings. He’s re-joining defensive assistants Mike Pettine and Mike Smith, who are both on Ed Donatell’s staff in Minnesota. - Sullivan is the seventh notable player to leave Green Bay this offseason and the second (Za’Darius Smith) to join the Vikings. Cornerback Kevin King remains unsigned. - - List - - Breaking down every move involving the Packers in free agency - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Packers Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Packers Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.
