ESPN: Favre won't apply for reinstatement yet

I'm not starting a new Favre thread (maybe they could be combined?)

The Packers are now blaming the Vikings.

We're talking about a guy who's done more for this franchise than Bart Fucking Starr. The Packers should start him, trade him or release him. Of course, the front office hates the idea that he would play for another team, but why should he retire if he doesn't want to? Especially considering he has a valid contract and there's demand for his services.

 

Forget a release, Green Bay would take a cap hit in the tens of millions of dollars.

 

They don't owe him shit. Fuck Brett Favre.

 

They owe him every last dollar of his contract.

 

Only if he applies for reinstatement, which he's failed to do at this point.

 

Merely a formality.

 

If I'm the Packers GM, the second he applies for reinstatement, I trade him to Oakland and dare him to report.

 

And Oakland would want Farve's contract because ....?

 

Good point. But Atlanta might.

 

Nah, why drag down Matt Ryan like that.

 

Agreed. But Arthur Blank is an idiot and he also needs to sell tickets.
