Vikings already after Favre.

[imscott72]

WSSP radio in Milwaukee reports that the Vikings have made initial inquiries about Brett Favre, "pending his release from the Packers."

The station's website claims it will have more about the story in the coming future. Minnesota could and should have interest in Favre, but we strongly doubt that Favre will be released. If the Vikings want him as a potential one- or two-year fix, they'll probably have to come up with a trade package. Favre's agent, Bus Cook, brokered the Steve McNair deal (Baltimore sent Tennessee a conditional fourth-rounder for McNair in '06) two offseasons ago, so he has experience dealing with this sort of thing.

dream on, Vikings. you want a trade? Favre for Adrian Peterson.

The Packers are far better off keeping Favre on the roster inactivated than trading him to MN. A better trade opportunity will be found sooner or later. And probably sooner, this is a mute point.

Can't keep track with all the threads.

But King says this in his latest article.

"The reason the Packers will not give Favre his freedom is simple. His team of choice is Minnesota, in my opinion, in large part because Vikings offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell is a good friend of Favre's dating back to the three years (2003-05) Bevell was his quarterback coach in Green Bay."

Seriously, offer him up for their 1st round picks in 08', 09', and 10'. If they want a SB badly enough, hey go for it. As much as I hate those purple a-holes, being able to say (if they won it all) that it took 4 ex-Packers added to the roster to FINALLY get it done in MN would be a small but very real consolation, add to that since they couldn't beat him they had to join him.

Just mention Hershel Walker and I bet they make that trade.

Tell them we'll sweeten the deal with the rights to Hershel Walker.

They already gave up one of those 1's for Jared Allen.

Ooops, is it 2008 already?

My my my, where does the time go...

Kind of funny since the Minnesota radio stations speculate that the Packers won't release Favre (and definitely wouldn't trade him to Minnesota), and that there is some question whether the Vikings would take a run at him anyways. They are committed to Tarvaris Jackson.

It's that exact same mentality that has netted them all of those Super Bowl Trophies they have.

I think the Queens would snatch Favre up to stick it to us more than anything..

I don't see it happening. The Packers would never trade him and the Vikings are probably not all that interested. If he were a free agent they might consider a two year deal IMO but I don't see him becoming a free agent anytime soon.
