What should the Packers do if Favre returns?

[motife]

If they trade him, Tampa Bay might be the most likely prospect, with Jon Gruden there.

Don't trade him, don't release him....play him! Trade A-Rod to Miami for Taylor and go for the Super Bowl for 2 or 3 years. Then...begin the Brohm era. Besides...I have his autograph so I'm banking on Brohm to be a Packer star.

Yikes. A-Rod for Taylor is WAYYYYY too much to give up.

Lately it's like everyone in here has been infected with George Allen disease.

Yeah...I typed without thinking. You're right, Scott. Taylor will only play for another year, MAYBE two. Maybe trade Rodgers for a pick, maybe a 1 or a 2, and trade for Taylor by offering a 3. Hmmm...KC needs a QB...maybe A-Rod for Larry Johnson? Endless possibilities.

Or Taylor and a pick. Ted likes picks.

No doubt. I'm so torn. I was just getting used to Rodgers, now this happens. All of a sudden I'm excited about seeing Brett in a Packer uniform once more, but this would almost definitely mean the end of Rodgers as a Packer, which isn't fair to him, but I don't wanna see Brett in another uniform, and I like Brohm......ahhhh this is aging ME!

Thus was the team I think fits best also. Chucky needs a QB, weather is nice and its close to his home, and the team runs a WCO.

Surpised there isn't a thread for this, apologies if there is:

COOK PRIVATELY SAYS FAVRE WANTS TO BE A PANTHER
Posted by Mike Florio on July 3, 2008, 3:07 p.m.
Agent Bus Cook has been yapping a lot over the past several months regarding the future of his star client, Brett Favre.

Most recently, we heard that Cook had been telling people that Brett still wants to play. (Two days later, it was widely reported that Brett is telling people that Brett still wants to play.)

We’re now hearing that Cook is privately saying that Favre wants to play for the . . . . drum roll, please . . . oh, wait, it’s in the headline . . . Carolina Panthers.

We don’t know why Favre is eyeing Carolina. Maybe he thinks that it’s the best place for him to step in as the starter, notwithstanding the presence of Jake Delhomme, and have a chance to win. Or maybe Favre wants to play for a time that’s fairly close to his home in Mississippi — and that will play three division road games in that same general area as well.

Beyond the geography and a roster with the talent to compete in a wide-open NFC, Favre has no strong connections to the coaching staff. Favre never has been in the same organization as head coach John Fox.

That said, the quarterbacks coach, Mike McCoy, was on the Packers’ practice squad in 1995.

Whether Favre plays again and whether he plays for anyone other than the Packers remains to be seen. But if he does play for anyone other than the Packers, his next team could be the Panthers.

If the Panthers want him.

I say trade him for Julius Peppers, straight up

There are enough threads...Cook privately said to whom????

I'll go by what Favre says instead, thanks.

Carolina makes no sense at all IMO.

It'd be kind of fun hucking it up to Steve Smith.

FAVRE CAN EASILY PUT PACKERS IN A BIND
Posted by Mike Florio on July 3, 2008, 6:02 p.m.
Adam Schefter of NFL Network lays out the procedure that quarterback Brett Favre would follow if/when he decides to play football again.

Favre currently is on the reserve/retired list. To be activated from it, Favre only has to send written notice to the Packers and to the league of his desire to play. The Packers would then have 24 hours to reinstate Favre, or to release him.

The other possibility would be to activate Favre and then attempt to trade him, if the Packers don’t want him back on the team. But they would be required to use a roster spot on him until he is traded.

As to whether the Packers want Favre, Schefter reports that there are folks in the organization who go both ways on the issue.

As to whether Favre wants to play, Schefter confirms that Favre is training as if he’s returning.

If he chooses to do so, the Packers have limited options — and there’s a good chance that they like none of them.

YES but this. Aaron Rodgers is TT's starting QB it seems to me .

Well.. Aaron told us that and all NFL fans 'as much'.
