Peter King says Favre wants to play for the Vikings

PFT thinks this is how he gets cut lose from Packers. Can you picture the Colts playing the Vikings (with Favre) at Minnesota. Naw, it will never happen
====================

In our view, the Packers lose the upper hand by making the ridiculous suggestion that they’d pay Favre $12 million to be the backup to Aaron Rodgers. We believe that it’s a ploy to force Favre to stay on his farm, thinking that he’s not likely to come back to Green Bay if he’s not the starter — and if he’d be a distraction on the bench.

If we were advising Favre, we’d tell him to call the bluff and show up for camp. The worst-case scenario is that he’d make $12 million while suffering no wear and tear on his soon-to-be 39-year-old body.

But we doubt it would come to that. Eventually, the the Packers’ penny-pinching G.M. wouldn’t be able to justify keeping him around at that kind of a salary, and public pressure would mount to either make Favre the starter or let him try to win the job elsewhere.

The only guarantee is that this one is bound to get uglier before it gets any prettier. Favre might have a heart of gold, but he’s got a head of diamond, and if he has decided that he wants to play he’ll do whatever he has to do to make it happen, and Thompson risks looking like a villain for disrespecting the most beloved player in the history of the franchise.

This is pretty shitty of Favre if you ask me. Rogers is going to have such a complex. How could you not after all of this. I've lost a lot of respect for him after all of this.

Savi, just on the NFL Network..Tampa and Baltimore are talking with Green Bay about Favre..Green Bay wants draft picks for him, I hope Oz dosent pull the trigger.

Personally, I dont want him, hes washed up.

I agree with Cravn...

Not to mention he should try and leave with some dignity, which will be very difficult now. For christ's sake, he should have enough cash for all of us to retire very comfortably.

Its not bad enough Green Bay will want 1st and 2nd rd picks..But its going to take a 3yr 30 million dollar contract to sign Favre..It aint worth it

I agree Cravn. I don't want him either. He's a Cajun why do you think he should act with class
