Favre asks for unconditional release.

[MNAFETSC]

Win back the job? Seriously? Again, if they don't want him on the team, fine, trade or release him, but if they aren't going to do that, he should be the starter, he has been Packers football for the last 15 years, and he's coming off an MVP caliber season.

Yet that MVP season was preceded by two bad seasons, and like I said at his age Im willing to bet the latter over the former. The Packers gave him more than enough time to come to a decision, and gave him more than enough time to make a U turn but he didn't so they gave the job to Rogers and conducted their draft in a postfavre era. Now he just want them to drop everything and let him have his way???

Well they would likely be better with Favre, so that would be a decent option. But no, they don't have to drop everything, but let him play somewhere.

Rogers looked pretty good against Dallas after Favre was hurt and they've made moves to help Rogers succeed.

They're ready to turn the page.

Great. As I've said multiple times, that's fine, but they should let him play somewhere.

Great. As I've said multiple times, that's fine, but they should let him play somewhere.

And Im sure eventually they will be it a trade or a release stating he can only play in the AFC.

How confident can they be in Aaron Rodgers? They did draft the most NFL ready QB in Brian Brohm. And didnt Rodgers only have one good year at Cal? I might be wrong on that

[tennOsfan]

Am I the only one who is sick of hearing about Brett Favre?

[beerisgood]

Undisputed4,

I think people are confused as to why the Packers drafted Brian Brohm and Matt Flynn. It's not so much that they don't have confidence in Rodgers, it's that they looked through the free agent QB's, brought a few guys in, and didn't have any interest in signing them. So instead of signing a Mark Brunell type of guy they decided to just solve the issue through the draft. Plus, after the Bears and Vikings passed on Brohm I think the Packers were pleasantly suprised to still have him available.

As a Packer fan I can say this whole thing is a mess, and it's nobody's fault but Brett Favre's. Him seesawing between retirement for two years was fine, but when you retire, you have to mean it, especially in his situation. He is the one that made the Packers move on, and that is exactly what they are doing. I still think he is a great guy and can still play, so if he really wants to play in the NFL trade him to someone not in the division.

So when does ESPN start the 24/7 vigil at Favre's mailbox waiting to capture the moment he sends the letter requesting reinstatement? Should I pick up some No-Doz?

Right...they would rather pay him up to 20Mil to stay retired than trade him? I don't get it. Trade him and see what prospects you can get in return. Does not make sense?

Brett Favre has veto power and won't give a list of teams he would like to be traded to. He doesn't want to be traded. He either wants to play for the Packers or be released so he can sign with the Vikings.

As Mike Greenberg keeps saying, there has to be something going on that only the people involved know.
