Looks like the Brett Favre "will-he-or-won't-he saga" is really starting to heat up. Cnnsi's front page is full of Favre links. Peter King, Perloff, a blog post about the spot Rogers is in, and a photo essay on past QB replacements.

I understand part of this is cnn/espn/js hyping this story up because there is not much football news right now, and Favre sells issues, but seriously, if I wanted drama I would watch soaps with my girlfriend. I want to watch football, and I'm sure the current Packers want to get ready for football, not play a game of "what does Favre feel like doing now."

I read the King article, and skimmed the rest, and at least Peter King has one good take on the situation that I didn't consider before. He says it might be hard for Favre to be traded because he will count 12 million against the Packers salary cap this year. If they cut him he will count $0, and most teams know that. The only reason to trade with the Packers is so they don't have to compete in free agency.

Favre had a great run, and Packers fans around the world appreciate him. By coming back all he is going to do is split the fans into two camps and lose about half of them.
