Wide receiver Greg Jennings reportedly has reached an agreement on a five-year deal with the Minnesota Vikings –the chief rival of his former team, the Green Bay Packers — on Friday.

Financial terms of the deal were not available, according to ESPN.com and the NFL Network.

Jennings had been talking to the Packers about a new contract, but none materialized, so he visited Minneapolis on Thursday.

Jennings is expected to be the Vikings’ No. 1 receiver after the team traded Percy Harvin to Seattle for a first-round pick and two other draft picks this week.

Jennings, 29, and has 425 receptions for 6,537 yards and 53 touchdowns since being drafted 52nd overall by the Packers in 2006.

Jennings is coming off his least productive season in seven seasons in Green Bay. Hamstring injuries and groin surgery limited him to eight games and five starts, with a career-low 36 receptions for 366 yards and four touchdowns.
