Packers frustrated as Favre saga continues
By BOB McGINN and TOM SILVERSTEIN

[Harlan Huckleby]

What I don't understand in all of this is this: If Favre is unwilling to cooperate with trades to Jets or Tampa, why the hell would the league be putting pressure on the Packers?

This whole saga disgusts me to the core. The whole world is dancing around a prima donna.

Well, that's somewhat exculpatory. If the Packers having been trying to get Brett under a long term, non-player contract, no wonder they dragged their feet on giving him a trade.

Re: Trade to Vikings or Bears possible

WTMJ-TV (Channel 4) in Milwaukee reported that during the meeting, Murphy presented Favre and Cook with an offer in which the Packers would compensate Favre in the area of $20 million over the next 10 years in order to remain retired.

How disgustingly SICK is that???

Yeah right, they want to do what's best for Favre.....pay him off??

LET THE GUY PLAY!!

The guy could play if he'd just cooperate with the Packers on a trade. Instead he's trying to stick it to Ted Thompson (and the Packers) on the way out the door. Asshat.

LET THE GUY PLAY!!

He's not interested in the backup job. And he's unwilling to play for the teams the Packers offer to trade him to.

Who the hell is he, God?

Man Harv, I think you know better than to post an article form JSO on here. Whats up with that?

For those who actually dont know what I am talking about, JSO sent PackerRats an email about copyright infringement due to their articles being posted on here. PLEASE dont post JSO stuff here, just links.

I now hope he's a complete failure wherever he goes. My ideal scenario was Packers vs. Ravens with Brett in the Super Bowl. Now, my ideal scenario is a repeat of 2005 (for him) with some other team.

Driven to the brink of desperation? McGinn and Silverstein are colossal IDIOTS if they think that.

If there's any truth to the $20 million thing, it shows that the Packers really would shell out money if they had to. That takes away any shred of leverage Favre ever may have had--assuming there even is any truth to the whole media instigated line of crap about his having sinister intentions.

They can merely keep him on the roster, pay his salary, and let him sit. No way in hell they consider a trade to the Bears or Vikings with that as the bottom line.

[HarveyWallbangers]

This shit has me really frustrated. He wanted to come back. I understand the change of heart. The Packers have moved on. Do the reasonable thing and work out a trade with Tampa Bay or something. Take your hatred for Ted Thompson out of the equation and think of it as a chance to do something fair for all of those fans that rooted for you for 16 years.

[Harlan Huckleby]

This is unbelievably ugly.

I will never be a Farve fan again. He's a jerk.

[GrnBay007]

The guy could play if he'd just cooperate with the Packers on a trade.

WHY should he settle for being dumped off to some team that he doesn't want to play for? You surprise me Harv.

[texaspackerbacker]

IF the rumor is true, the idea of the payoff is initiated by the Packers. So why suddenly start hating on Favre?

Because he is an NFL player under contract, not the goddamn pope.

He has no right to dictate where he is traded, especially because he obviously has a list of one or two teams.

He is demanding to be a free agent, like Javon Walker did, with even less justification.

He is a jerk.

haha I just heard of ESPN RADIO...

"He will be limited to individual drills all of camp if he reports" - packer source...

So what does he get to do? Throw balls to the 3rd deck???
