Bleacher Report Reports Favre to Tampa

[PackerBlues]

I have read some pretty stupid things in all of this mess, but to question if Favre would give 100% has got to take the cake.

A guy starts every single game for how many freakin years, and you idiots want to question his commitment? Ha! If Brett Favre says he wants to come back and play, I do not picture him giving anything less than 100%.

I agree everyone in this thread who's loving this trade might be drunk.

I wouldn't mind if this happened. I said, to me, a second rounder is the minimum the Packers should consider. Any less than that, pay him his $10-12 million to back up Rodgers or just to sit inactive.

We don't need Sims, but as a throw-in, he couldn't hurt.

I'm fairly convinced that Favre will not be all that good whoever he plays for--given the idea that he said he would want to prepare at about 80% of the effort he gave last year.

All of this being said, my best guess is that this whole Tampa trade rumor is nothing more than wild-assed speculation from the head of a media idiot.

What would the Packers want Chris Simms for?

MJ and a second round pick. . .a second ...a second...a second...

Nice deal. If it we're true and Packer management wants this to go away really fast

Upper management MJ, or the fella's above TT. This 'if true' is stamped 'Chairman and friends', as certainly TT doesn't do anything FAST.

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

The last I heard Favre is not officially retired because he never filed his retirement papers.

I agree with the posters that getting Simms would be a good deal. The Packers need a veteran QB to back up Rodgers.

[woodbuck27]

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.

That's where I am too and been there long before he announced his forced-unforced, too emotional to be true retirement.

Favre wants to play in the worst way and to play in Green Bay is no longer the right option for Brett Favre as it really is. He's gone Packer fans one way or the other Brett Favre played his last game in a Packer uniform in that loss to the Giants.

Sad and true.

Woodbuck, I'm trying to ask why the Packers would want Chris Simms if they already have a starting QB and a backup and a developmental 3rd stringer.

Favre's not going to the Bucks MJ..come on. That would be certifiably insane. X 10

Isn't there value in having a B/up QB that has some actual in game NFL experience? While I'm not ready to christen Rodgers injury prone, his track record on durability isn't very good. I think there is some value in experience here, however, I doubt that this goes down that quickly, IF it's even in the works.

I think it's just another rumor.

If they trade Brett for Simms thats pretty much giving him away. Simms and Gruden's relationship is over according to Simms. He said he can never play there again. He will be released or at most given up for a 6th or a 7th. I've been calling for Simms all offseason, but this trade is not good.

[motife]

better yet would be a 2nd and Jason Taylor from the Dolphins.

with the starting DL :

Aaron Kampman DE

Ryan Pickett DT

Cullen Jenkins DT

Jason Taylor DE

in your face Vikings.

They're talking about Simms and a 2nd. Not a bad deal. Though Simms is nothing more than a throw in given his stature in Tampa.

What I'm saying its possible to get Simms as an UFA in about a month. Could still get a player and a pick for Favre and end up with Simms. Anyone have any excess D-tackles they're willing to part with?

Simply to make Packer fans happy I think the Packers need to sit on Favre, tell him he is welcomed back on the roster. Nobody really wants to see Favre play for someone else.

Anyways I do think Favre needs to prove that he is ready to give himself over to the game of football once again. I didn't question this before I heard that he told McCarthy in March that he was ready to come back, and Ted and McCarthy wanted him back only for Favre to pull back again. Really where is his head at?

We need to hear it straight from the horse's mouth. It's time for a press conference, Brett!
