Bleacher Report Reports Favre to Tampa

[pbmax]

Possibly, because the only people to file paperwork have been the Packers which was to move him to the inactive/retired list. They may be able to rescind it.

Which leaves a second, good unanswered question. Why did Favre send the letter to the Packers (and make it public) if he must first contact the League before anything can be done?

And second, if the Packers files the inactive/retired list paperwork, could they just retract it to move/release/trade Favre?

Thompson seemed to insist that the League had to be notified, but is that a wish to have Favre's fingerprint on it or is it an ironclad rule?

As to the trade the second is fine as might be Simms, but the Tampa QB situation is clogged like nobody's business. Favre is better than Garcia, but does Favre want to work for a coach that has not been shy about yanking his QBs around like puppets? Sounds like too much drama. And no way you get a second and a player unless Favre commits to play there.

BF is still retired. There cant be any deals until that status changes.

Can't they trade his rights?

absolutely STUPID... you hold on to a Brett Favre, and u fuckin make sure hes 100% committed and then u START a Brett Favre... its simple!

Please go through. Please get rid of this diva.

I can't imagine getting a 2nd rounder....but would not complain if we die (whether I agree with it or not)

Maybe we could draft another QB with the pick, and then out of the three eventually we might have a replacement

I don't want to trade Brett Favre until he formally asks the league to reinstate him. Personally, I'd hope he stays retired. At this point, trading him to another team would likely encourage him to unretire, which is not something I want.

Despite sending somebody to his home to try to get him to retire last week..........it seems a foregone conclusion that he's going to play again IMO.

The Packer brass is watching their words closely hoping that he changes his mind, but it isn't working so far so if they don't want him to be their quarterback they should resolve this quickly if they can.

Well, he's currently retired so nobody can make him retire at this point. The issue is whether or not he stays retired. I have no idea whether he will or he won't. Brett is enough in "petulant child" mode right now that I wouldn't be surprised if he just sits at home and pouts if the team doesn't give him everything he wants.

I'm not sure tampa would give a second for him, but if we couldn't get a second from an AFC team I would be thrilled with this end result. I know, tampa is dangerous and all, but like JH said, if we can't beat tampa with brett, we probably can't beat dallas with romo, ect ect. If we are superbowl bound, which I don't think we are, trade or no, then we should be able to fade this for a second.

It might be simple if Favre could say that he's 100% committed, but he can't.

He just did on Tuesday. He says he hasn't been able to commit in March for years. What else in new?

I didn't see a statement from Favre on Tuesday. Last I heard M3 asked him at the end of June if could give it 100% and he couldn't say yes. Can you post the quote, cause I missed it.

[Pacopete4]

you really think Favre would be coming back if he wasn't 100% committed to playing football? this guy bleeds football and has left his guts and heart on that field for us...

Then re-read the timeline. On Tuesday, they asked Favre if he could give 100% and "for the first time was able to say a resounding yes" or something to that effect.

Playoff disasters.

It's interesting that the statement you're referring to is in the Yahoo Sports Timeline and not the JS timeline, when it was Silverstein of the JS that did the interview with Thompson that resulted in the timeline in the first place.

I'm inclined to view any statements about Favre's current mental state as suspect until Brett Favre personally comes out and addresses the media.

At least we will get into the playoffs with BF. Very unlikely with powderpuff Rodg at the helm.
