Am I the only one who thinks that Favre to Minnesota isn't dead?
I know that the Packers won't trade him there, but who is to say that the Bucs won't?
John Gruden is pretty happy with his menagerie of QBs, but Favre would be an upgrade. Tampa will probably make the playoffs with Garcia, and they know that Garcia still has at least 2 seasons in the tank. If they can get Favre for 2 picks, and then trade him to Minnesota for something better, what is stopping them?
They know that Favre wants to go to Minnesota. They know that Minnesota wants Favre, but can't get him from Green Bay.
Tampa will almost certainly get a great deal on Favre because Green Bay now simply wants him gone. Mike McCarthy and Ted Thompson have acted like spoiled children who need to get their way or they will cry. They ahve lied several times throughout the process, and now they are gonna pay for it. The Bucs can set their offering price, and then get started on the next trade with the Vikings.
If Green Bay doesn't come to terms, Favre can file a grievance because they aren't letting him practice, forcing them to either take the trade or cut him. They do not want him on the same field as Aaron Rodgers. Fans are already booing him.
As long as Favre is willing to push the envelope, he can still get what he wants.

Tampa won't trade him though. Favre is better than Garcia and there is an unwritten rule that you don't trade a player to a team only to have that team trade it to the rival of the original trader. It would ruin that franchises' credibility and teams would be very reluctant to trade to that team.

Yes, It would really hurt the Bucs franchise because all the other teams in the league would despise them.

Favre is also much better than Rodgers, but the Packers are trading him... so that unwritten rule is in the crapper.
Malcom Glazer doesnt really care a whole lot about what people think about him. Teams will trade with you no matter what your history is. Look at the Eagles and the way that they cried their way into stealing TO from the Ravens. Teams still trade with them, and there was a HUGE stink about that.
I am not saying that the Bucs dealing him to the Vikes is likely... but it is certainly a possibility.
