    Think I'll just give this whole release story a few more hours to pan out. Remember Favre was supposedly dead set on being traded a couple years ago too according to some sources.

      Ras, do you ever read the blogs kissingsuzykolber or deadspin? There is an post you need to read that covers a Vikings fan's reaction to the possibility of Favre on his favorite team. Its hysterical, and profane. Mostly hysterical.

      Actually, I could write for an hour but you get the gist.
      Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

        Exactly. Brett's not the only one allowed to change his mind. Mike and Ted might too.

          Maybe this is why TT stayed so far below the cap! hehe

            At least that way we can still have the jersey retirement ceremony right? No?

            Well, he won't be using it by then....

              Always a chance. And still more of a chance than if he had stayed retired.

                No team will trade for Favre unless he OKs the deal.

                I'm guessing that Favre is relatively pissed at Thompson for not letting him return to Green Bay...so helping Thompson out in that regard isn't likely to happen.

                  I think you are exactly right. Even by Thompson's penny pinching ways he is $10 mil beyond his normal bankroll for the cap.

                  But I believe that is to buy them time, not to keep him on the roster.

                    Mike Sherman probably wasn't too happy that Thompson changed his mind about him either. I don't see Thompson apologizing for that.

                      If Favre wants to play that game, Thompson can just activate him and let him sit on the bench. Hopefully, something amicable will come. I'd guess that Favre and the Packers will agree upon some teams to deal with, and Cook can then work out contract terms with one of those teams.

                        Brett does not have any trade clauses in his contract that I'm aware of. The trade can be made contingent on Brett reporting. And if he won't report, he'll have no choice but to stay retired. If the Titans can trade Pacman while he's suspended, the Packers can easily trade Brett.

                              Screw this do not release him or trade him. If he wants to play he plays in the Green and Gold. We can just have a REAL expensive third stringer

                                this is just an awful day in Packerland... one that i'll probably never forget, how we turn our back on this man is just heart breaking and gut wrenching
