PFT - FAVRE IS DONE?

This is the way the world ends

This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.

If correct, I stand corrected. I didn't think T2 would be able stand on the backup and trade ground. I'm not sure this ends it though, he can still report to camp and then it starts all over again.

I don't think Brett wanted to be traded anyway. If he's decided to stay retired, it's because he figures Minnesota is out of the picture. I think that's the only team he was looking to join.

[Bretsky]

I don't buy this one bit

But if TT and MM only gave him three teams to consider, then they are both pukes

If they only gave him three then good for them. They should take it out to the last minute the same way he does every year. It's only fair, right? Favre doesn't need time with the guys, he can jump right in so this should be no problem for him.

HE SURE DRAGGED THINGS OUT TIL THE END THIS YEAR

The following AFC teams have the cap room to take him: Jacksonville, San Diego, Buffalo, Miami, and Kansas City. Jacksonville and San Diego are set at QB at this point barring injury and wouldn't give Favre a shot at a starter, so I would guess the list consisted of "Buffalo, Miami, and Kansas City".

Quoting myself to answer your question. Favre would count $12.7 million dollars against the cap this year if he was traded, and those are the only AFC teams with at least that much cap room.

Out of the NFC teams Chicago, Philadelphia, New Orleans, Green Bay, and Tampa Bay are the only teams with the cap room to afford him.

Gosh I hope that's not the argument you are making; anybody can rearrange cap space today to make deals work

BINGO!

I still think, if he is traded, that Tampa is where it will be.

Why? Cause the only team that plays West Coast offense.

I know many will say that he won't get traded there cause NFC team, but i don't agree.

Yes, we play them...but, on the road....so, we wouldn't have the favre love'in as expected at Lambeau.

I think TT can handle that kind of heat.

I agree that TB is the most logical place; I don't agree that TT can handle the heat.

TT does not want Favre to play. I still don't believe the story but if TT gave Favre a few teams they were probably teams that he figures Favre will not go to. Everything the Packers have done the past few weeks PR wise...with several people sending messages...have been designed to keep Favre from coming out of retirement

[HarveyWallbangers]

I doubt they gave him just three teams as an option. Packers management might have given him a list of teams they don't want him playing for, but it makes no sense that the Packers would give him a least of just three teams. If they were okay with trading him, I'd think they'd be all for trading him to any AFC team. Why not get something for nothing. That would be in the best interests of the Packers.

[pbmax]

Sure you can rearrange the cap. But $12 million is a lot of rearranging no matter how you slice it. And once you factor in teams not in the market for a 38 year old starter or the teams that would not view Favre as an upgrade, then you are in the single-digits.

What is unknown would be Favre's willingness to work for a cheaper base salary and incentives. That might open a few doors.

YAHTZEE!

Agree; I'd be fine with him getting trades to a NFC team as well. I'd agree that we should keep him out of the division

The packers can't stop Favre from coming out of retirement. It is that simple. And, TT is smart/cold/analytical enough to not care one way or the other if Favre plays now. At this stage TT is all about trading him.

TT already had faced the unknown...not having favre this year..so favre coming back equals more picks...it is that simple.

TT can handle the heat...he has been doing it for several years...took it when he "dismantled" the team.

How many AFC teams do you see lining up to trade for Favre? If there is a list, then it would be logical the Packers have made calls.

How many teams can you scare up in the AFC that are trading for Favre?

[pbmax]

Not trading:
Patriots, Colts, Jaguars, Steelers, Browns, Bengals, Chargers, Raiders, Titans, Broncos

Possibly:
Texans, Dolphins, Bills, Chiefs, Ravens

Leaked No Interest:
Jets

If I was drawing up odds, I might inch the Ravens up, as I am not convinced by Flacco and dreck. But I might move Miami down as they have two first day QBs on the roster waiting for a chance to sort themselves out. Even Parcells gave the homegrown QBs in Dallas a year or two before importing Bledsoe.

A list that the Packers would be willing to trade him to and a list of teams that could or would want to trade for him aren't the same.
