Favre seeks release from Packers (updated)

Today is the day something is supposed to happen, decision-wise about trading or keeping him.

Sure, Brett could come and outplay Rodgers for the job and could lead them to more wins this season, but like us with Jason Campbell, they had a long-term plan for the future of the team with Aaron Rodgers and it's time for him to take over so they can see if he'll work out. Favre retired and they began planning for a Rodgers-led team. If they scrap that plan, they could be in trouble for the future, especially if Rodgers decides to leave for somewhere he can play without drama or play at all.

There's a lot of weight on Rodgers' shoulders. He has two young QB waiting to takeover and an old QB that doesn't want to leave. How many more years are left on his contract?

Honestly I think the whole situation is just sad at this point. I do not think that Favre has ruined his legacy, but watching this play out the way it is playing out is like watching a trainwreck.

Favre faxes reinstatement letter, also says Aaron rodgers will start every preseason game and will probably get more playing time during preseason games then favre did which means he'll probably get injured before the regular season. Favre might be the starter for the regular season after all...

Packers president and CEO Mark Murphy heads to Mississippi to ask Favre to stay at home and not report to training camp. They don't want him playing for Green Bay or anyone else...

it's kind of retarded they can force him out of football like that.

i mean, they have to pay him 12mill a season to do it, but still...

That's retarded, if I'm Favre I'm definitely showing up to camp.

The Packers are in a no win situation here. First interception Rogers throws, fans will be screaming for Favre.

Is this a fact? Or are you just assuming? I read in the article that he was heading there to try and work things out with Favre before things got any uglier.

ESPN reported that he went down there to tell him...excuse me, politely ask Favre to keep his ass at home!
