SuperCharger Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 I thought he had to submit in writing to the league to un-retire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piratesownninjas Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 good for him. No way they're paying a guy $11mil to hold a clipboard. He's not going to start for Green Bay. He's reporting to force a trade, not to take over the spot again. Every bridge has been burned. I suspect the Bucs will have a new quarterback shortly.

piratesownninjas Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I thought he had to submit in writing to the league to un-retire? That's a mere formality at this point. Goodell has already gotten involved, so the second Favre submits the paper work Goodell will approve it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure they gave the Bucs permission yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piratesownninjas Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 ESPN is reporting that the Packers gave the Jets permission to talk to Favre. Not sure they gave the Bucs permission yet. After the Jets specifically said that they had no interest in him. I'd actually welcome a trade to the Jets, especially if they're giving up a 2nd round pick for him. That and he'd be in the AFC, getting dominated by Richard Seymour twice a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 good for him. No way they're paying a guy $11mil to hold a clipboard. Just before Favre threw James Campen under the bus didn't Campen say if pressed they'd have to play him? Time to sell Favre high and buy ARod low. See if I can get some chumps I mean other players to trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperCharger Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 I agree, which is what I meant about them not paying him $11mil. This will work out well for everyone as GB will actually get something of value out of it. I say that he should go play a year in ATL. I'm not sure it's best for Farve, but it's good for NFL and ATL. No way he comes to ATL, we've been sold on Ryan down here by Blank and Tommy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He already had a year at ATL, and I highly doubt he would want to return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Atlanta pays Matt Ryan 60+ million and he gets no playing time this year? Favre will play this year, then retire... That would put Matt Ryan as the starter next year with no experience. Matt Ryan is going to start that last 6 or so games of the season. Favre isn't going to take a week off or be pulled from a game. He's going to go somewhere he believes is really lacking a passing game... I think in his mind it's Tampa Bay with his connection to Gruden, Washington with his connection to Zorn via Holmgren, or Philly with Reid... I think the Philly connection is insane, but I've heard from multiple outlets that Green Bay has contacted them... And now I guess New York is in the equation. I think they're not too close for a playoff run, but they have brought in some nice pieces through free agency and the draft... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piratesownninjas Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I do wonder tho... can the J-E-T-S (suck suck suck) negotiate a 3rd pick to GB and then turn around and trade him to MN or wherever for a 2nd? No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect the Bucs will have a new quarterback shortly. This is exactly what I was going to post. Not a betting man but if I were I'd lay money that Favre is a Buc by the end of the day today. I'd not let him step one foot into camp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 ARod plays for the Yankees. Nimrod plays for the Packers! Not that one. The one that throws TD passes at the Metrodome. Well he hasn't thrown any yet but soon it'll be raining football over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caveman_Nick Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I thought he had to submit in writing to the league to un-retire?

budlitebrad Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Possibly diminishing your legacy in GB for a year or two with the Jets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big John Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I thought he never submitted retirement papers, so I don't think he would need to submit unretirement papers. The Packers put him on the reserve/retired list. So Favre can appeal for reinstatement, which negates the reserve list. Though the commish does nt have to approve the appeal, the appeal would just be a formality now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Stanky Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 (edited) I don't know why Buffalo hasn't been mentioned as a possible suiter. GB would be able to trade him to an AFC team. You've got the Favre Jauron connection from back in Jauron's GB days. The team was 8-8 last year and should only be better this year with or without Favre. Favre wants to play in a cold weather climate and it doesn't get much colder than Buff in Dec. I think Buff makes more sense on paper than TB. Edited July 25, 2008 by Capt.
