Favre...gimme a break

[Scav]

do you really think he will play for the Vikings? I never in a million years think that this would happen. Although, I never thought Jordan would play anywhere but the Bulls, and he tried to play in Washington......

If he returns, my respect for the man plummets. He has to know that his decision to retire did not only affect him, but his family, his franchise and fans.

He's had a great career. He should leave it that way. Does he really think he's going to go out like Elway, on top??

It was a real dumb move to retire and he knows it now. The Packers are a contender. Why he wanted to retire after the season they had is beyond me.

I understand if he retires...he lose's his Wranglers gig......

The Packers were counting the days til Favre retired. They have been wanting him gone for the past few years. Of course, they couldn't publicly come out and say that but that's what they've wanted. They've been wanting to move on but how could they force Favre out of Green Bay? And he still wanted to play so a split was difficult. I just have a gut feeling that this "retirement" and the possible comeback with another team were ways for the two parties to part company without anyone looking like the bad guy.

Isnt he under contract with the Pack?? So, if he does return, the franchise that has been 'wanting him gone for the past few years' will have to deal him or make AaRod wait another year.

I liked the way Rodgers commanded that offense when he was given the shot.

I heard he was going to the Redskins. He's the only thing left that Snyder can try that won't work.

i heard earlier on espn radio that his agent may file reinstatement papers with the nfl as soon as tomorrow. the packers then have to A- take him back. B-release him. C-trade him away.
IF i were the packers front office, i'd either trade him or release him. it's time to move on.

What they wanted was to not have it drag out until April again. If he had stated after the Giants game.."OK..One more Year..Let's go for it"..Outside of MAYBE Aaron Rodgers, there would have been no disapointment in that organization. How could there be after the year he just had?

but how could they force Favre out of Green Bay? And he still wanted to play so a split was difficult. I just have a gut feeling that this "retirement" and the possible comeback with another team were ways for the two parties to part company without anyone looking like the bad guy.

Well...that sure backfired

PS..I gotta' learn how to split answer posts

This is like trying to break up with your girlfriend that just won't go away. She was once the best you ever had, but now you just want to move on and get away, but she keeps calling.

I enjoyed everything brett gave the packers, but it is time to move on. He is screwing the pack and himself. He may be mentally ill or he just can't handle not having the attention. This has been going on now for 3 years and we all got over it this year. I can respect that he still feels that he wants to play as an athlete, but it will not be with the packers. If he files his paperwork I think the only choice the packers have is to release him.

What would his return do to the Pack's cap number?
