Trade to Vikings or Bears possible

haha I just heard of ESPN RADIO...

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

I love it. I myself have been limitted to individual drills for the past couple years, so I can relate.

Well, either he gets banished to the Don Hutson Center indoors...

or

We see a lot of footballs launched outside the fences!

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.

I don't blame him for not wanting to go to the NY Jets; they might be ok but it also might take a miracle to go to the Super Bowl.

If Favre still wants a ring he probably wants to avoid the AFC all together. Hard for teams to pass Indy, NE, SD, maybe Jags and Pit.

Tampa Bay is still a good fit; but I think Garcia is back there now

I don't think Favre owes us; he would like to stay in GB so if he's rebuffed it's hard for me to blame him for trying to push a hand to send him somewhere he wants to go. If it's MN as most are reporting, IMO much of the reason is because he thinks they have a legit shot......and with a QB many of us might agree.

I still hope he goes to TB, but who knows what'll occur.

In the mean time he should get to GB for practice.

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

That's right. So let him come to camp, UNDER CONTRACT, and compete for his job back. What's so difficult in that? After all, Packer management would SURELY want to put the best QB on the field, RIGHT?

What do you think is a reasonable number of teams for him to offer to the Packers as trade options?
I would say 10, maybe 8. Because most will be duds - no interest.

What you are describing is an essentially uncompromising position on his part. He wants to go where he wants to go and that's that. OK, well the Packers should fight back with everything they have, and they may get to the point of not caring about any residual hard feelings.

Ummm, this "compete for his job back" is the sticking point. I delivered a long speech on this topic in another thread, you'll really be cheating yourself if you don't seek it out.

Here's the executive summary: a "fair competition" as you are thinking of it is not a right of NFL players. It is done when the coaches want one to make up their minds.

that would definitely be harmful to the Packers. They are not in the business of strengthening the Vikings.

TT sets his priorities this way:
1) Interests of the Packers
2) Favre's happiness

just an added note: why should the world revolve around accomodating Favre's wants? You sound like the little league mom of a very spoiled child.

Whatever.

So, 1) has nothing to do with putting the best QB on the field for 2008?

I swear if I ever hear TT mention again that they want what's best for Brett I will throw up.

This whole thing is just disgusting.
