Packers desperate to deal Favre

The Green Bay Packers, driven to the brink of desperation in their ongoing spat with Brett Favre, have discussed internally the possibility of trading the quarterback within the NFC North Division. A source close to the situation told the Journal Sentinel on Wednesday that the Packers were considering seeking a deal with one of their division rivals, most probably the Minnesota Vikings or Chicago Bears, if backed into a corner by the National Football League and public sentiment. On Monday, general manager Ted Thompson said flatly that the Packers would not trade Favre within the division. But having no prospects of trading Favre anywhere else and under increasing pressure from Commissioner Roger Goodell, the Packers are considering doing almost the unthinkable: not only trading Favre, but also to the Vikings, a team that will be their opponent Sept. 8 on opening night at Lambeau Field.

Move over Johnny Damon...Favre traded to Da Bears would be the ultimate traitor-trade in sports history.

Favre would look sharp in navy and orange!

GO BEARS!

Rich Eisen from NFL Network said it perfectly - what in the world are the Packers doing - or thinking???

why are they taking such a hard stance against Farve?... by doing this, it is now a game of saving face... and they have given themselves no room to change their minds...

this is absurd... Farve should be behind centre. Period. Why?.. because he gives the team the best chance to win. Period.

when don't you play your best players?... must be a new rule..
