Favre seeks release from Packers (updated)

[MTK]

The Packers need to either cut him or trade him asap. There are rumors of the Packers holding on to him until just before the season starts and then cutting him, but that would be a PR nightmare, I can't see them doing that to him.

At this point I think GB just needs to cut him. There is no way GB is going to get a 1st rounder for him. Farve should just show up and force GB's hand. They should just let the guy go and live with it.

Well they can get some trade value for him and they can also make sure he does not end up on a team they have to play twice a year. Its kind of funny they are turning him away but they then turn and are saying they also don't want to have to play against him twice a year. I was on Bretts side until I heard he called them back in March about playing this year and when GB got their jet fired up to get him he called them back and said he changed his mind.

Ted Thompson is scared. If he believed in Rogers then he'd just let Farve go and deal with him playing for Minn. He's scared it's going to back fire on him.

Ottis Anderson went to the Giants from St. Louis. Were the Skins interested or something? They had George Rogers......I'm just wondering what you meant.

I understand about trading within the division. But who's going to give up any value for Farve at this point? Do you honestly think Farve can push Minn. over the top? He's had no work with the wr's, no work with the offense, I'm sure there is some learning curve...plus Minn has no wr's to begin with. I just don't see Farve repeating his performace of last year in a Minn. uniform. And I don't think he'd even go to Chi. cause their offense is going to be awful.

You bring up a good point. Whether it's Minni, Chigaco, or wherever, Favre is going to have to learn a new offense. And if that's the case, everyone's already started training camp. So when will he get this new playbook.

The only and best fit for him is --- Green Bay!
