Favre II


From Jsonline:
If Favre really wants to be traded, he could pressure the Packers into doing it, given his stature in the game. The Packers don't think they're in a rebuilding mode and want Favre to lead their team next season, but if he is truly unhappy, they could find takers for his services.

From a salary-cap standpoint, they'd be able to wipe Favre's $11 million base salary off the books while absorbing only a small hit from the prorated portion of his original contract. They might be able to find a team that thinks it's on the brink of a championship and needs only a veteran quarterback (Washington, Denver and Jacksonville come to mind) and squeeze out a high pick.


To me, the most interesting thing about this story is the actual trade itself. When is the last time someone like Favre went up on the auction block for trade? What could possibly be his value? Maybe the Packers finally have something to offer Washington for all of their picks in next years draft? Its not like Snyder wants them...Actually, to me, Denver is the most interesting landing spot. That is a championship caliber team with a 2nd year QB. If they could let him sit for one more you, they would be well served. Plus, Favre would reunite with Javon Walker. Denver would instantly become the next most reasonable AFC title contender behind NE.
