  • Assuming they are NOT going to keep Favre. . . .

    What should the Packers do?



    SC mentioned that the Packers would be off the hook with Favre's salary if he is cut the day before the first game of the season. Teams cannot tamper so if the Packers can't find a suitable trade partner the best thing to do would be to wait till the last day and let Favre go without owing him his salary. Favre would be entering week 1 without a day of practice or any experience with the offense (as giving him a playbook would be tampering). It would be a tough spot, one Favre likely won't want to get to. More than likely he'll have to find a trading partner that the Packers agree with and get in, in time for camp. It seems like the best option. There is plenty of motivation of Favre's side to get soemthing done before the season starts and it might be nice for TT to control where Brett goes.

    A trade should be worked out if everyone settles down. Brett wants to get started with a new team. The new team will want him sooner than later. Packers want this resolved. Everyone needs to calm down and get it done.

    If things aren't developing quickly Ted should threaten to keep Brett until the trade deadline, salary be damned. It shouldn't come to that though.

      I think the Packers should say very little to Brett or the media. The more time goes by the more leverage they have. They can give a list of teams they'd consider and from there let Brett's team do the work. Brett never felt in a hurry to give his responses so there really should be no hurry for us to help him out here. Like Favre, the Packers have to make a decision that is in their best interest. Surely everyone (Favre or Packer fan) can relate and understand this sentiment.

        Good point. Say very little. Do not say you are going to release him. Let his team do all of the work and carry all of the worry.

          The best thing the Packers can do right now is hold their cards tight and look out for what is best for the team.

                    Actually, with that funny piece of paper that costs $200, we do get the right to vote.

                        Can I suggest we all start now ????
                        TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWER

                          I think a barrage of catcalls, boos, and continuous blasts from airhorns would be appropriate. Hey, Thanks Packer administration for flushing our legendary QB down the toilet! We appreciate it!

                            I would think this fellow's salute might be better directed at #4.

                              The worst thing Favre did was to be indecisive about wanting to return. The worst the thing the Packer organization did was to say they wanted a guy who never started more than they wanted an old QB who had an MVP season last year. Who cocked it up more: You make the call.
