Former Packers OLB Za’Darius Smith visiting Vikings

Former Green Bay Packers edge rusher Za’Darius Smith is in Minnesota to visit the Vikings on Monday, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.

Smith was released by the Packers earlier this month. He had a deal with the Baltimore Ravens but backed out, keeping him available in free agency.

A reunion with outside linebackers coach Mike Smith and coordinator Mike Petrine would be possible in Minnesota, plus the opportunity to play the Packers twice a year.

Smith, an All-Pro in 2020, hurt his back last season and missed all but one game.
