Favre in Chicago?

no. packers won't release him. besides, why would he want to play for the bears? there are other, better teams who are dieing for a qb.

STPHNSN23, top two teams in need of a qb are in the NFC North. I doubt it's going to happen either. He just needs to stay retired either way (can't believe i just typed that).

I the Pack releases him, I don't see why it couldn't happen.

Rocko,
Why would you want Farve to stay retired? He obviously can still play, is a legend....and is as fun as it gets as far as quarterbacks go...

I hope he comes to the Vikings, we would have a sick team then

Rocko, i agree, but neither of them is in chicago. vikings, bucs or even lions make way more sense if he were to be released. if he really wants to come back, though, i can't see why GB wouldn't want him.

I'm a big fan of Favre, but I have mixed feelings about him playing anymore. It is going to be interesting to see what GB does if this gets serious. They would be smart to let Favre play, if he wants to, but they need to have the next QB in line spending more time on the field if they do that, so the transition isn't so harsh. It would be really strange to see him come back and go play for another team.

Okie Boarder, As a Chicago fan, Favre today is better than any of our other options.

He is a blue collar player that would become an instant GOD in Chicago.

Let's not forget the purpose of major league sports, RATINGS! Can you imagine the ratings?

Can I imagine a completed pass? Laughing

E.J., I think when you say you're retired you should stick to your word. Micheal Jordan started this BS, Roger Clemens (biggest POS IMO) did this too making how many f'ing millions to play 1/2 a season and still didn't have to travel with the team when he wasn't scheduled to pitch.

It's not like i'm going to be pissed if/when he does come back, it's just that I finally became ok with him not being on the field this year.

Also if, big fawking if, he does get released from the Pack he will have to agree not join a NFC North team plain and simple. He def could become a Buc (Gruden is QB happy) and is one of the many that have a hardon for this guy. Maybe Carolina I guess.

muckmeister, I hear ya and I agree whole heartedly. I think he is one of the games best players and he has always maintained that blue collar player approach. I know he loves the game and it is probably killing him to think about not playing, but he is really risking some major injury. I think he should just enjoy his retirement.

i hope he gets hit by a bus.

now that i've said that, he's not going to play in the nfc north. at all. period.

why anyone would think he would be good in minnesota is beyond me. dude sucks indoors.

he'd be a nice fit in tampa or carolina.

he's not going to be released. precisely so he can't play in the nfc north, because they are two of the most viable options for him. gb's not stupid. besides, he has some trade value. no reason to give away what you can get a 3rd or 4th round pick for.

It is getting juicy...

http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/8335678?MSNHPHMA

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.

Ohhhhh......bet that comment sat well with Favre.... This is going to be great for the locker room.... Rolling Eyes

Yes, in a way. It seems like it tends to happen to the older players that stick around longer than they should or do a comeback like that, more than the younger players. Just an observation.

Okie Boarder, no it's more like this will not sit well with the city of Green Bay. I don't think they are gonna be too happy to see Favre on the sideline.

Rocko, yeah, that too!
