Favre could be back on Minnesota's radar. Yes, sports-fans, it's true, another chapter in the ongoing soap opera has opened up. Green Bay, apparently not having much luck in getting a trade set up to either the Jets or the Bucs (Favre refusing to talk to either team) and under pressure from the league to do something with Favre are apparently willing to consider a trade within the NFC North- but only as a last resort. The Packers also reportedly made an offer of $20 million over the next ten years to stay retired.
Hmmmmm... well, the Vikings have three QB spots and four quarterbacks right now. One has to wonder why they need a fifth one, even one as good as Favre. Childress can babble all he wants about 'developing young talent' with Tavaris Jackson, who's pretty decent and getting better- but if offered Favre, would the Vikings say yes? Oh you bet they would... the next legislative session in Minnesota is going to tackle funding for a new (or renovated) Vikings stadium and a super-star like Favre could up the excitement factor, even if he's only around for a few more seasons. A QB that went 13-3 last season is nothing to sneeze at, but at the end of the day, they want a superstar in their pocket when they start pushing for more money for a stadium upgrade.
That's what I think, anyway. But we'll see.
