I think a lot of the stuff coming out of the Green Bay front office is funny. First, Favre would be the team's best quarterback if he came back, and as a veteran, it's not like it would take him a lot more time to master changes in the playbook.

As to the Packers moving on...well, they can still take their time with Rodgers, and if he were to bolt, they just drafted Brian Brohm, who profiles to be a potential starter in the NFL.

I don't agree with the way Favre has handled things; to me, the worst part was his sending messages to the media through his family. Having his mother and brother go on talk shows to express his desire to return was interesting, to say the least.

Other than that - it's a ridiculous situation, although it gives Peter King the opportunity to write about Favre in every one of his columns (not that he hasn't been doing that already).

ETA: If I remember correctly, the Packers have a lot of room left under the salary cap. So, carrying his salary for this year probably wouldn't make much of a difference.
