Former #Packers OLB Za'Darius Smith is headed to Minnesota today for a visit with the #Vikings, per sources.

Smith's original deal with the #Ravens fell apart. Could he stay in the NFC North instead?

Wow, huge news. Now someone reassure me we're keeping Hunter and not planning to trade him if our guy at edge is there at 12.

Late to the party again. Yeah, this makes sense. Wow, Hunter and Smith together? Dayum.

Yeah I think unless one of those elite edge guys falls in your lap, you obviously favor cornerback and I still think there's an outside possibility of a WR. Hunter and Smith should be deadly and we have some bodies behind them with Wonnum, Willikes, Jones and Robinson to figure out the backup spots. Definitely gives us some draft flexibility

#Vikings Za'Darius Smith said he's trying to get Danielle Hunter to come down to his home in Orlando to train with him before players report April 11 in Minnesota for spring drills.

Za'Darius Smith said Brian O'Neill texted him and said 'I'm glad you're here so I don't have to face you twice a year.'
