The Minnesota Vikings take on the Arizona Cardinals this Saturday inside U.S. Bank Stadium. Who are five players that recently spent time with both franchises?

The Minnesota Vikings will play the Arizona Cardinals in the third and most relevant of all the preseason games this Saturday.

The Vikings’ starters will likely play about a half and we’ll get a nice long look at most of the stars on both teams.

When facing an opponent, it’s worth looking at the individual matchups and the keys to what it will take for Minnesota to win. It’s also worth looking into the history of the two teams.

It’s fun to see what their overall records are against each other, but it’s also interesting to look at their shared history.

The Vikings and Cardinals have a lot of common threads woven throughout their history. They both have had Dennis Green as a head coach and Cardinals all-time great wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald grew up a Vikings fan and was the team’s ball boy during the Cris Carter and Randy Moss days.

It doesn’t end there, as there are plenty of players who have put on that sexy shade of purple but also donned that Arizona crimson. Who are five players that have recently suited up for both franchises?
