Favre seeks release from Packers (updated)

Riggo44 · 07-31-2008, 12:33 PM

I think the Vikings would be a better fit then the Bears. The Vikings would be a scary team to play with Favre as there QB.

Yeah, but the Bears are their biggest rival and would bring out more anger, hatred and insanity from the GB fans. More entertaining to watch.

Yeah, but the Packers play the Vikings in their opener on Monday Night Football. Talk about drama.

he's got a lot better line in minnesota than he'd have in chicago.there is noway the packers can give him 20 million to stay retired.would'nt that be the sam thing as circumventing the salary cap???

If you put Farve on Det. he might throw 40 to 50 TD's.

I think Farve should take up this option. He'd be the first player to ever be paid not to play. That would be a stat I would like to have.

Who could say that they paid not to play football?

Honestly I would love to see him play for the Vikings They could possibly have the best offense with Favre/Peterson plus it would sure as hell make the season opener on Monday night football alot more exciting.... but I'd still rather see him play for the Packers

That's where you are wrong. He should not take up this option because it would be against what he played for. He didn't play for the money. He played for the love of the game. So he would be changing his mind about what he played for. Not a very good idea.

Wow - that's like "wishing" Darrell Green to the Cowboys...

i don't think it's fair if the packers are allowed to give him 20 mill to NOT play,and have it NOT count on the salary cap.i don't care what kind of package they put it in,that's cheating the salary cap any angle you look at it.i can't see why more fans and players are' making this a big deal.just cause he may be the best qb ever does'nt mean the rules should be bent for him.

He was great but not near the best ever to play.
