CelebnSports247.com reports in the comments to Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press, Sullivan said that he has Packers fans accusing him of treason.
Chandon Sullivan told Tomasson:
Some fans say I’m a traitor but they’ve got to understand, we don’t pick ourselves, the G.M. [does]. [The comments] are kind of funny, but it comes with the territory.
He’s right. Even though Sullivan wasn’t drafted, his opportunities previously came from teams that wanted him. And if the Packers had wanted to secure his services over the long haul, they could have done something more than extend a restricted free agency tender in 2021. They didn’t. While they had interest in keeping him, Sullivan earned his chance to pick his next destination.
Regardless, there’s no treason to it. Teams show loyalty to players only when they want or need those players. When the teams decide it’s time to move on, the teams don’t think twice. Players shouldn’t, either.

Sullivan added the Vikings will be getting “a versatile player,” who can help at slot, cornerback, or safety.
He said:
I’m the man for the job. They’re still trying to decide. We’re going to see how the rest of free agency and how the draft goes.
