I'll believe it when I see it, to be honest.

Being reported on NFLN right now based on a phone call Brett had with Ted yesterday.

WTF is going on?

I thought we had moved on. I thought we just had a shareholders meeting and there was a united front.

You can't just bring Favre to camp at this point and have any credibility left if you are the Packers IMO.

[Chevelle2]

It shows to other teams, Favre is committed.

Speedens up the process for a trade.

[Lurker64]

I think you can definitely bring Favre in if he shows up on your terms, that is to say "he's not guaranteed the starting job, he knows this, and he accepts this."

Training camp will be interesting, particularly if Favre is not traded and Aaron legitimately beats out Brett during the preseason.

[SkinBasket]

Maybe they could alternate series during the season. Or maybe we can devise a package where both are on the field at the same time.

Well, Favre has been long praised for his blocking...

[sepporepi]

Let him pick up 30 pounds and make him a fullback .

He can throw a few option passes each game

JSO reporting Favre's official website has removed any reference of the Packers (except for links to news reports).

Sure looks like a deal will be done relatively soon.

The way we hear it, the Bucs are serious about preparing a deal to acquire QB Brett Favre. Sources say Tampa Bay’s offer to the Packers for Favre is likely to include a second-round pick, one more draft choice or perhaps a player, as well. Bucs GM Bruce Allen would like to get something done sooner rather than later, perhaps within the next few days to avoided letting the distracting rumors linger and also to give Favre as much time as possible to learn the offense.

I really don't want him back. I hope this is not true.

[pbmax]

He's being brought to camp, or at least its being leaked, so they can drive a better deal with the team(s) Favre wishes to go to.

Favre said he didn't want to be a backup. T2 said the role, if reinstated, would need to be determined. For a week or three we will see M3 dance around the depth chart questions and everyone counting the number of throws with the first team.

Then he will get dealt. Can't believe Thompson has the stones for this, I am surprised, pleasantly so. Also surprised and impressed Favre, at least for the leak, is willing to either ignore or go along with the non-starter role.

The only person who is going to suffer is McCarthy whose press conferences will make Watergate look like its just a hotel. If he actually arrives.

This would make my week.
