Brett Favre

The bizarre offseason of Brett Favre continued this weekend as the Packers began training camp. Favre did not show up to practice, as he said he would. But then again, when was the last time Favre stuck to what he said?
Favre did send the required paperwork to the league, making his desire to return to the field official.
Good enough. If the man wants to play, he should play.
But Green Bay needs to move on.
Make Aaron Rogers the starting QB and get to work reshaping the offense. (The Pack also drafted rookies Brian Brohm and Mike Flynn this year).
The Packers need to trade Favre as quickly as they can, recognizing that the market for his services is limited by several factors.
How many teams need a frontline starter?
How many teams can afford Favre's contract?
How many teams would Favre play for?
Green Bay wants to get something for their quarterback. But it's time to clear the decks of this mess.
Favre's legacy in Green Bay is already tarnished. Why let it deteriorate even more?
