They wouldn't guarantee Moss some money even though they have it and Favre even offered to restructure his deal to pay Moss.

But it was probably a culmination of several things; the last two years their first picks have been defensive players, they didn't take care of Javon Walker (I don't really remember all the details of that actually), they let Ahman Green go.

Well I admittedly don't work for ESPN, everything I have heard is that once New England entered the conversation Green Bay was out of the equation, since Moss had so much control over where he ended up and wanted to compete for a Superbowl. Maybe they could have gotten the deal done earlier, but I think it's hard to fault the team too much in this instance. I definitely don't think they were backstabbing or misleading Favre on this, which is what he insinuated.
