practice squad would have to make it through waviers and that would not work fo the packers

yeah the Vikings would be all over it. along with the bears

I think the Bears would have the first shot over Minny to claim him off waivers, right?

Did anyone not expect this when he announced his "retirement" a few months ago? The guy may hold a ton of records and be a media darling but he is a jerk IMO.

I hope lands some where. Sorry I don't dislike him or upset because he had a change of heart. This is not about money it is about the love of the game, Brett is not hurting for money he wants to play ball. If that offends people then so be it but Brett is not the 1st nor will he be the last player to announce retirement and then change his mind as the season gets closer.

I don't know if your kidding ( well I know you are in some respect) or not but Veteran players are not subject to waivers and can't go on the practice squad

i think so too

 

[Big Dakota]

After the meeting yesterday put favre behind the eight ball, now he has to make a move.

 

[Dallas]

amen to that.

I hope he ends up in minnesota. That will be the leading story everyday.

and I know I am in the minority here but you can count me as not scared of the vikings.

The Vikings are a real good team. Everyone is talking about them. If Favre were to go there then you would see a lot of media penciling them into the Super Bowl like they are for Dallas.

I also feel that Dallas is the better team. Im not scared of any Vikings. Bring it.

I really don't understand as a football fan how you can dislike Favre but many here do. I don't get it. It is not like he dominated the Cowboys for years but I guess people don't like the attention he gets that took away some attention of Aikman and the boys in the 90's.

A great player who has fun playing the game. That is what football is supposed to be about.

That is why I like Romo so much. He has that same mentality.

There's a lot of con man in Favre.

Despite his "aw shucks" routine, there's not an ounce of humility in this guy.

Agreed. And here's the thing -- Favre can make it there if he really wants to. He essentially has a no-trade clause because he can veto any team the Pack would like to send him to.

So, the Pack have two options. Keep him on the roster and pay him his $12 million salary or release him. Why on earth would Favre agree to go to a team like the Buccaneers? To make Ted Thompson happy? Yeah, that's going to happen.
