The Favre Saga…

The Brett Favre saga continues…The Bucs and Jets are the hot rumored teams to be in the hunt for his services.  Both have some issues with their current QB situation.  The Jets have a seasoned vet and probably one of, if not the, smartest QB in the league, but with a weak arm, in Chad Pennington and a young, but not as ’smart’ QB with a stellar arm in Kellen Clemens.  The Bucs have seasoned vet Jeff Garcia and young gun Chris Simms, along with another vet in Brian Griese.

As you can see, each team has a lot to be desired at the QB position.

Favre wants to be released.  Green Bay will not allow it, because odds are he will end up with the Vikings or Bears, whom the Pack play twice a year.  No thanks.

The Packers want to ship him out of the NFC, preferably to a team that they could only face if they both make it to the Superbowl…They want no way to allow him to come back and nip them in the butt, for lack of a better analogy.

Favre did not report to camp on Sunday, as previously reported.  He and GM Ted Thompson spoke, and Favre agreed to give him a few more days to figure this situation out.

In strange news, Peter King reported yesterday the Jets may visit Favre in Mississippi…The Jets then mysteriously canceled both of their practices today.

    I think they took off for a team building exercise. Heard they were all doing a scavanger hunt to try and find their running game….

    But yeah, Jets will get him and probably pay less than the 1st round pick that Green Bay wants. Dislike for the Jets aside, Favre shouldn’t be finishing his career with anyone but the Packers. It’s rediculous and played out and I can’t wait for the news of Aaron Rogers’ torn ACL because he got up too fast after all these years plastered to the bench.

    It’s cool, Favre realistically doesn’t really want to come here anyways…It’s just another pipe dream…But until he gets moved somewhere else, I will continue to dream…lol

    And GB wants a 1st round pick knowing they won’t get it, so yes, whoever gets Favre will realistically not give up a 1st rounder…They set the bar as high as possible and will go from there.

    And Favre isn’t worth a 1st rounder anyways at this point, especially given that he will play 2 years max, and probably will ‘retire’ again after this year…If he plays…
