Brett Favre - A JET!

[K.C.]

ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports Brett Favre has asked for his release from the Packers.

Somewhere, Epo's inconsolable.

During the same conference call on Tuesday, neither Thompson nor McCarthy were openly receptive or enthused about Favre's desire to un-retire, the sources said, prompting Favre to direct Cook to request his release from the Packers. Favre has three years remaining on his contract for a total of $39 million. He currently is on the reserve-retired list.

Favre wants a mutual parting rather than having to force the Packers' hand by writing a letter to request his reinstatement to the active 80-man roster. Under league policy, the team would have to comply or release him.

Cook's letter did suggest that Favre's accomplishments for the franchise merited the team honoring his request to be released, also asking that the action be taken "with no strings attached." Favre does not want to be traded, sources said, because he wants the freedom of choice to play for any other franchise.

Story

Favre seeks unconditional release from Packers, sources say

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By Chris Mortensen
ESPN.com

HATTIESBURG, Miss -- Three days after a conference call with Green Bay Packers team officials on Tuesday in which quarterback Brett Favre emphatically expressed his desire to play in 2008, Favre on Friday formally asked for his contractual release from the Packers in a letter, sources close to Favre and the team said.

The letter was sent by Favre's agent, James "Bus" Cook, via overnight mail on Thursday and arrived at the Packers facility Friday morning.

Cook, on behalf of Favre, expressed a desire to have an amicable parting, as the Packers have been reluctant to embrace his return. Favre announced his retirement in early March.

During a conference call on Tuesday that included Packers general manager Ted Thompson, Packers coach Mike McCarthy, Favre and Cook, sources say that the quarterback stated emphatically that he wanted to play again.

When Favre was reminded by the Packers' brass that it was in March when the quarterback said publicly and privately that he wasn't 100 percent committed to football, sources said. Favre acknowledged his state of mind at the time, but added that he never felt he was a 100 percent committed in March of previous years, either. Favre felt he had to make a decision to retire because the Packers were pressing him for an answer, a source said.

During the same conference call on Tuesday, neither Thompson nor McCarthy were openly receptive or enthused about Favre's desire to un-retire, the sources said, prompting Favre to direct Cook to request his release from the Packers. Favre has three years remaining on his contract for a total of $39 million. He currently is on the reserve-retired list.

Favre wants a mutual parting rather than having to force the Packers' hand by writing a letter to request his reinstatement to the active 80-man roster. Under league policy, the team would have to comply or release him.

Cook's letter did suggest that Favre's accomplishments for the franchise merited the team honoring his request to be released, also asking that the action be taken "with no strings attached." Favre does not want to be traded, sources said, because he wants the freedom of choice to play for any other franchise.

Favre has been in communication with McCarthy during the past month about his desire to play but until this week had not spoken with Thompson.

Neither Thompson nor McCarthy were available for comment on Friday.

Favre did not wish to speak publicly about his situation when approached while working out Friday morning at a local high school in Hattiesburg. He appeared to be in excellent physical condition and threw the ball with ease, even throwing a football 50 yards "on a rope" with high school receivers. He has been throwing and running with the team for more than a month.

Favre was relaxed and in a positive frame of mind, joking and telling stories about himself, former teammates and coaches. He planned to continue working out next week.

There is no doubt in my mind that if he gets out of his contract somehow, he'll be the starting QB in Minnesota or Chicago next year.

And I fully believe Favre will not only break the Madden Curse, but lead either team to a Super Bowl, all the while, those stupid Cheeseheads just sit there dumbfounded.

Best.Story.Ever.

:lol::lol::lol:

[The Majik Man]

well this faggot never ceases to amaze me with his lack of majikness and his overall disregard for his so called "legacy" at least I had the majik to fall back on but this guy just has John Maddens fat gut to fall back on.

So remember I am majikal, Aaron Rojers is the newly appointed head of the majik department and brett favre is an unmajikal faggot

[Kevin]

EPO... I demand a apology. I was right and you were wrong. Favre is a me me me douche. And he is going to either the bears or Vikes. Thats how much a douche he is.

he would be hated by his beloved fans to the point that... it would be almost ruthian in how epic this would be if he won

ps

[KingGeno]

He'll end up in Arizona or something.

[epo]

Let me state that talk radio in Milwaukee is freaking insane right now. Here is the statement from the Green Bay Packers (http://blogs.jsonline.com/packers/archive/2008/07/11/packers-statement-on-favre.aspx):

"The Green Bay Packers are aware of the latest developments regarding Brett Favre.

"Brett earned and exercised the right to retire on his terms. We wanted him to return and welcomed him back on more than one occasion.

"Brett's press conference and subsequent conversations in the following weeks illustrated his commitment to retirement.

"The finality of his decision to retire was accepted by the organization. At that point, the Green Bay Packers made the commitment to move forward with our football team.

"As a retired player, Brett has the option to apply for reinstatement with Commissioner Goodell. If that were to occur, he would become an active member of the Green Bay Packers. As always, the Packers will do what's right and in the best interest of the team.

"As with all Packers greats, Brett's legacy will always be celebrated by our fans and the organization, regardless of any change in his personal intentions.

"Brett and Deanna will always be a part of the Packers family."

They are not releasing him. There is no way they are giving Brett Favre to Chicago or Minnesota. Hello Baltimore Ravens!

[epo]

EPO... I demand a apology. I was right and you were wrong. Favre is a me me me douche. And he is going to either the bears or Vikes. Thats how much a douche he is.

Kevin, I'm sorry.

[Kevin]

Yea, they def should trade his ass. Fuck him and what he wants.

[epo]

Well thank you..

What do you think they should do with him. I say trade his ass to balt and make sure he does not get what he wants.

No sweat.

Jay Glazer on Fox Sports: (http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/8335678/Sources:-Packers-won't-release-Favre)

The Packers legend asked the team for his unconditional release on Friday, but the organization has no intention of granting that request, FOXSports.com has learned. If anything, sources say, the team is prepared to welcome Favre back as a backup to Aaron Rodgers.

I just heard a report on the radio that the Minnesota Vikings have been calling Favre's agent this week inquiring about a 1 or 2 year deal.

I've got a couple of thoughts:

1. The Packers have the cap space, if he wants back in, fine sit on the bench and rot.
2. Trade him.
3. Release him with the condition that nobody in the NFC North can sign him.

And what in the hell are the Vikings doing.....hello tampering!

[Aaron Rodgers]

NAH NAH NAH NAH
NAH NAH NAH NAH
HEY HEY HEY
GOODBYE!!!!!

Bitch is gonna be carrying MY clipboard. MY MOTHERFUCKING CLIPBOARD!!!!!

I would do that. But if you can get something for him(outside of the NFC North) then you should do that.

Actually their home opener is against the Vikings on Monday Night Football. It is also the night that was on the schedule as retiring Favre's number too.

And this isn't Hogan/NWO big. This is more like NWO 2000. Too telegraphed.

As much as I hate to be put in the position to defend the hated Packers - golly gee ya hey dere, didn't the Packers stand behind him for his entire career?

And now he's sticking the shiv in them like this?

He's a punk, and I'll say it right now: I don't want him on the Bears. I'd rather eke out wins with Kyle Orton than win with Favre.

[NickyL0885]

Ill take him on the Jets! although i want to see what Clemens can do for a full year with a better O-line.

I can only imagine the type of nuclear damage releasing Favre would have on their salary cap. That he doesn't care makes me giggle.

[epo]

I can only imagine the type of nuclear damage releasing Favre will have on their salary cap.

Actually that is not a consideration. They are so far under the cap it's ridiculous.

That is why they can absorb a trade, release or bringing him back. They are one of the few teams that would have all options on the table.

Yeah, NOW they do. I think they'd rather use that space to lock up their young players long term and bring in a free agent or two than blow it all catering to Favre's most recent whims.

[epo]

Packers cap situation here. (http://www.packerchatters.com/team_info/salary_cap/)

They are $32M under the cap. That is with 1.4M of dead weight Favre money from the original signing bonus. If Favre were to come back they would be $18M under the cap.

Money is the least of the considerations in this case.

[cougarjake13]

now lets say they do allow him back but tell him he's riding the pine


is there any chance that goddell could say or do anything to force the packers to trade or release him instead of him just sitting on the bench ??

[underdog]

The NFL Player's Union is weak, but nowhere close to that weak. There's no way that happens.

somehow though i dont see how goddell or the nfl would allow brett favre to just sit and rot

they 'll find a loophole or make up a new one

they ll call it the favre rule kinda like the larry bird rule that was invented

[K.C.]

This seems like a simple move for Green Bay.

Tell this asshat if he wants to come back, he can unretire, but he'll be holding the clipboard. He won't be traded, he won't be released...the Packers will honor his contract.

I'd say the chances are pretty good at that point that Favre walks back in to retirement. But, worst case scenario, he holds the clipboard, and Rodgers either plays well and it doesn't matter, he sucks, and they go to Favre, or he gets hurt and Favre is waiting in the wings.

They absolutely cannot go into camp with the 'will he be the starter' cloud hanging over the Packers' head. State it immediately and up front...Rodgers is the starter.

[epo]

They absolutely cannot go into camp with the 'will he be the starter' cloud hanging over the Packers' head. State it immediately and up front...Rodgers is the starter.

They did that...that's why he wants out.

The irony is after this guy retired, he wanted back in. So they figured out a way to do it to his satisfaction, chartered a plane to Mississippi to pick him up and the fucker told them no after they got there. That's when they decided to move on.

Honestly I can't blame them.

it will never happen son. You will not pay him that much to have him try to shit all over your team every week to get outta there. He is gona, and he is gonna be gone unconditionally

[Kevin]

Packers told Favre if you wanna play again, you are gunna have to come back here and back up Rodgers, you are not going anywhere. Especially to a div rival.

[Kevin]

Brett Favre had his chance to come back to the Green Bay Packers at the end of March, but the legendary quarterback reneged on an agreement then to unretire -- part of the reason why the Packers aren't now welcoming back the legendary quarterback. According to two NFL sources, Favre informed the Packers during the annual NFL meetings in late March -- less than a month after his tearful March 6 retirement news conference -- that he wanted to play again. FoxSports.com's Jay Glazer first reported that information Friday afternoon. The State Journal's sources along with Glazer's sources said that, at the time, Packers coach Mike McCarthy and general manager Ted Thompson told Favre they would welcome him back, and plans were made for him to return -- a colossal commitment to a player who had just publicly said he no longer wanted to play anymore, wiping away tears while saying he didn't have "anything left to give."

The man gets better everyday.

[JackBurton Says]

If there is a god PLEASE give the Packers some big ass balls to give Favre what he wants and release him only for him to go to the Vikings and shatter his leg opening night. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!

More on the tampering charges against the awful Vikings: (http://myespn.go.com/blogs/nfcnorth/0-2-95/Report--Records-show-calls-between-Favre--Childress.html)

The Packers filed tampering charges against the Vikings earlier this month, and the NFL is investigating. The Vikings haven't commented, but according to the Journal Sentinel, Favre held the conversations with both men on a cell phone issued by the Packers. Because they owned the number, the Packers were able to review Favre's phone records and make the discovery.

The both men in the quote are Vikings coaches Darrell Bevell & Brad Childress. Now I've got a question...

How dumb do you have to be to call and take calls from Brett Favre on a cell phone owned by the Green Bay Packers? I mean that for the Vikings AND Favre. Idiots.

And i am sure the Vikes did not know about the Phone.

It's just hilarious to me that the Packers were able to compile phone records...as they own the fucking thing!

I'm not shocked on Favre's part...but wouldn't ya think the fucker could afford his own phone?

Well, you know athletes, the littlest perks have been known to fuck up deals.

At least your wife's phone.. But i bet that cheap bastard had the Pack pay for hers too.

Negotiations dead; Favre to compete for starting job (http://blogs.jsonline.com/packers/archive/2008/08/03/negotiations-dead-favre-to-compete-for-starting-job.aspx)

The Green Bay Packers are through negotiating with quarterback Brett Favre on a marketing deal and they are anticipating him reporting for training camp Monday and being on the field as soon as he passes his physical, a Packers source said.

Another source close to the club, said that the Packers have agreed to allow Favre to compete with Aaron Rodgers for the starting job and he won't necessarily be the backup this season. Trade talks with Favre have not advanced and coach Mike McCarthy is expected to come up with a plan that will split the practice repetitions with Rodgers.

That locker room has the potential to be a fucking trainwreck.

Favre lands in GB... what a douche

[King Imp]

I honestly hope that even though they told him that they are allowing a QB competition, that they are planning on giving the starting job to Rodgers regardless of what happens in camp and preseason. I want to see him get all pissy and either quit or demand a trade because he thinks he's bigger than the team and he'll never stand on the sidelines holding a clipboard.

Word has it the Majik Man is coming out of retirement to make this a three way dance for the Green Bay QB job.

[spadanko]

According to his agent, Brett Favre is willing to play for both the Jets and the Buccaneers.

Favre appears resigned to a trade and hopes one is completed by Thursday, so he can get into training camp with his new team. His agent said that he could not see a scenario that involved Favre not playing football this season. The Jets may now be the frontrunners if they are truly offering a much better package, although we're sure that Favre will have a voice in the final decision. Aug. 6 - 10:16 am et

I went to Batman last night and i thought I heard Fez and ESD talking about Favre

They're wasting their time.

The Madden Curse is the most formidable, unbreakable curse in sports today. He'll be on the shelf for the season by week 2 for whoever gets him.

Then that means it will be the Jets. They are cursed when it comes to QBs.

Then that means it will be the Jets. They are cursed when it comes to QBs.

Let me state that I would like nothing more than to see the Packers send Favre to the Jets. He would be out of the conference AND would have to face a real media for the first time in his life.

That being said...I think he's going to Tampa Bay.

[epo]

Work on local talk radio has the Bucs & Jets in a bit of a bidding war for Favre....and apparently the JETS have the best deal on the table. Now it's a matter of where Favre wants to go.

I have a feeling Clemens is gonna get traded now.

Why trade Clemens? Hell, get rid of Pennington with as durable as Favre is.

[razorboy]

I'm just thrilled he isn't on my Bucs. I predicted a thouroughly disappointing season for him, and fully expected that Gruden and Allen would give up a first, or something else ridiculous for him.

[Tenbatsuzen]

Smaller contract. Easier to do. Has had some pro experience.

[epo]

I agree easier to move, but Pennington has zero value to them now. Whereas they can get maybe 2 years of Favre and turn it over to Clemens then.

[razorboy]

Smaller contract. Easier to do. Has had some pro experience.

They already have to clear serious cap room to get Favre in under the cap which would make Clemens more attractive. I expect Pennington will be released, or possibly traded.

Of course, Pat White is going to be available in next year's draft... what? what'd I say?

If Pennington does go, he'll either go to the vikings or chiefs.

Jets say Pennington will be traded or released by the end of Thursday.

[Gerald]

I don't think this move will put the Jets over the top in the conference. Even with Favre I still think they're not on par with the likes of the Chargers, Colts and Pats. Being in the mix for the wild card is still better than the alternative of what we saw from them last year though. I also can't help but wonder if Jet fans will be as reverent toward him if he has one of his trademark 4 interception games. It's true he loves the media spotlight but how will he handle getting savagely grilled within it after such an outing?

[EddieMoscone]

http://www.scottsdalecards.com/catalog/images/73tmays55.jpg

Say Hey, at least his card is worth $25.00. I'm going to load up on Favre Jet cards when they come out.

I'm a Jet fan (and season ticket holder), and I suppose I should be excited, but really the team was such a disaster last year it's hard to feel happy about anything. Especially with the terrible parking situation continuing and PSLs on the horizon.

[Snoogans]

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK

This trade was supposed to fuckin allow me to watch this football season WITHOUT HEARING FAVRE'S NAME EVERYDAY.

NOW I'M NEVER GONNA GO A DAY WITHOUT HEARING IT FOR THE ENTIRE SEASON. Even the last week of the season when the Jets are 5-10 and Favre is doing his best not to throw his 30th INT

Yeah, but if you make the playoffs, anything can happen.

[PD]

while I do think they are an 8-8/9-7 team, they did win 10 games 2 yrs ago;
I would not be shocked if they won 11 games.

nor would I be shocked if they only won 6.
