Favre wants Moss?

[LL2]

Anyone else seeing those NFL rumors where Favre wants GB to trade for Moss? I'm not crazy about the idea, but if it happens (which it won't) I hope Moss is only given a 1-2 yr deal.

[Freak Out]

Who quotes Favre saying he wants Moss in GB? I've never heard he said it.

this rumor started going around here a week or two ago, i think it started at packerchatters

since then we haven't heard much about it

but i would be all for bring in moss

and he wants out of oakland real bad. his new coach called him, and moss told him he didn't want to talk.

This is getting to the George Costanza point, soon moss will be out doing donuts in the parking lot dragging the Lombardi trophy behind him, while yelling into a bullhorn how much the team sucks

[cpk1994]

Now, why would Favre say he wants the Pack to trade for Moss when he hasn't even decided yet if HE is going to be there? What an idiotic rumor.

the rumor we heard, when it first started, was that moss wanted to come to green bay to play with favre. it never said anything about favre wanting to play with moss

heres a little mention of it from "truth and rumors", over at cnnsi.com

There have been some whispers that Brett Favre would like to see the offense upgraded and, perhaps, even have the Packers trade for disgruntled Oakland receiver Randy Moss. -- Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

You guys know he is coming back, he will announce it after the super bowl is over and he gets all the spotlight. Brett likes the attention, don't kid yourselves. He always has been and always will like the spotlight.

Some look at it just the opposite. It is disrespectful for a prominent player to make a noteworthy announcement this week and draw attention away from the Super Bowl and the players who have earned that trip. It is more appropriate to wait until after the Super Bowl.

[Brando19]

Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre reached out to coach Mike McCarthy, but did not provide an answer as to whether he will come back next season. ... What McCarthy did gather from his conversation with Favre is that his decision will come down to personal and family matters. Both McCarthy and Thompson told Favre he still has what it takes to be an effective quarterback and it appears Favre agrees. There have been some whispers that Favre would like to see the offense upgraded and, perhaps, even have the Packers trade for disgruntled Oakland receiver Randy Moss. But McCarthy said the status of the team wasn't on Favre's mind. "It really has nothing to do with the team," McCarthy said. "I think Brett's questions last year were with regards to so many new things: new coach, new staff, (new) terminology, new players. The issue of whether to play, from my understanding, really doesn't have anything to do with the team."

I'm guessing many, maybe even a majority, of the rumors we hear have little factual basis. Until we have more concrete evidence to the contrary, I'll treat it as such.
