Should the Redskins take a run at Favre?

What if Favre tears it up and decides he wants to play out his contract which would be another two years beyond this year. Rodgers would be facing the possibility of not starting until his 7th year... he would be crazy to stay in GB if that was the case.

you are 100%correct.he'd be sol if that happens.if favre stays and rodgers leaves,seattle would be a great place to go since holmgren is gone after next year.would'nt you be surprised now if favre did'nt come back after all the fuss he's made?can you imagine the scene if the gods of football are willing,and favre signs with the vikings?on the day he is supposed to have his number retired,he's the starting qb for the MINNESOTA VIKINGS?????
why can't shit like this happen in dallas,ny,or philly?

I still can't believe people are talking about this. What team wants to deal with Farve and all his damn drama?? GB has had no trade offers. If someone wanted him that bad then there would be at least one offer. Yes he played well last year but the chances of him playing that well again after sitting on his ass all off season and not working with any NFL wr's is slim. We're not talking about Manning or Brady.

Who says he was sitting on his ass all offseason? Somehow I doubt that he didn't keep himself in good shape. A few weeks of camp and he would be ready to go.

Even if he is in shape this back and forth crap wears thin on everyone and it's worn thin on the Packers. Plus what team wants to deal with all this? NFL teams want a QB that they can depend on and you can't depend on Farve. Classic case of a guy that didn't prepare for life after football. He just doesn't know what to do with himself.

I get the same impression. He'd even said in interviews this spring that he was doing nothing. He also asked mccarthy if he could be an asst. coach.

Let's trade Derrick Frost for him.

The Packers should definitely trade Favre, they can't let him back.

Two words...Madden Curse

[MTK]

Yeah he's gone back and forth but I really doubt he would show up for camp and then decide to retire again.

You can count on Favre where it counts and that's on the field. If I'm a GM with a playoff team and I need a QB, I'm looking at Favre no doubt.

What playoff team would want him? TB? He's not going to push them over the top cause they're not good enough to begin with. So what other playoff team would want him?

TB won 9 games and was a playoff team last year even with Garcia missing a few starts and parts of other games. I think Favre would definitely put them on the short list of strong contenders in the NFC.

The only way this is possible from a cap standpoint is if the Skins get Favre to completely renegotiate his deal, including a significant pay reduction.

Even if they gave him a $12 million bonus (to equal his salary for this season and avoid having him take a pay cut), they'd have to give him a 5 year contract to make it fit under the cap. Won't happen.

Gotta love their reasoning:

... Zorn will be using a QB ... Favre is a QB! Redskins have signed QBs in the past! The writing is on the wall...
