Cliff Christl has it right that Favre owes nobody anything. He's obviously not pleased with Ted Thompson's player moves, either last year or this.

It's been mentioned that it would be easier to sign free agents if Favre said he'd return, well, name one.

Vinatieri? Why would he care? What other FA's did we lose out on? the DT who went to Jacksonville? I can't remember one where it would have been an issue.

So, other than the draft.. what does if affect? Should the Packers have signed a veteran backup for Rodgers? That's the only thing I can think of.
