Funny, I just had an indepth telephone debate about 10 minutes ago with a friend in my fantasy football league about this very topic.
I'm not a Favre fan, and think he's not handled this retire/unretire thing well, and put the Packers front office in a terrible bind.....but a tested, HOF, quality QB who took them deep in the playoffs last year, and had one of his top five best seasons of his career....there's no reason to go with A. Rogers at this point.
Favre is counting on the front office not wanting the training camp circus of a $12 million clip-board holder, and that they'll release him....so he can walk to the Vikings, the Bears, the Bucs or the Jets ....but that's not likely.
Optimally for the Pack, they can hold him into the start of the season and if another team has a QB injury they can then extract more for a trade for Favre than they could get at present.
