Defensive and Special Teams Players
Carl Eller - DE
Minnesota's unofficial leader in career sacks, Carl Eller developed into a defensive icon during his 15 seasons with the Vikings from 1964 to 1978. Before walking away from the NFL for good, Eller spent one year with the Seahawks in 1979.
Keith Millard - DT
Five years into his pro career, Keith Millard seemed on the path to becoming one of the best defensive players in Minnesota history. Unfortunately for Millard, injuries derailed his career and his time with the Vikings came to an end after the 1991 season. He ended up landing with Seattle in 1992, but he was only able to appear in two games for them.
John Randle - DT
Another Hall of Famer from the defensive side of the ball who finished his NFL career with the Seahawks after spending more than a decade in Minnesota, John Randle signed with Seattle during the 2001 offseason. Randle went on to spend three years with the Seahawks, including a 2001 campaign that resulted in him earning a trip to the Pro Bowl.
Brian Russell - S
After spending his first three NFL seasons with the Vikings, including 2003 when he snagged an impressive nine interceptions, Brian Russell eventually landed with Seattle in 2007. However, Russell only last two seasons with the Seahawks
Blair Walsh - K
Following a tumultuous end to his career in Minnesota, Blair Walsh attempted to get back on track with Seattle in 2014. But it didn't end up working out with the Seahawks either as the team moved on from Walsh after just one season.
Kevin Williams - DL
One of the most underrated defenders in Vikings history, Kevin Williams, signed with Seattle in 2014 after spending the first 11 years of his career with Minnesota. Williams was solid for the Seahawks in 2014, but his time with the team only lasted one season.
