Favre considering Pack's $20M offer
The $20 million offer that Green Bay Packers President Mark Murphy made to Brett Favre on Wednesday, aimed at making a long-term commitment to him regardless of whether he plays this season, might be enough to keep the quarterback on the sideline. If Favre takes the offer, it would end weeks of uncertainty and growing dissatisfaction among his many fans and allow him to bow out of a contentious situation gracefully. In turn, it would bail the Packers out of a public relations nightmare they helped create with poor communication with Favre during the off-season. An NFL source who wanted the Packers' side to be explained said Murphy's financial offer was wrongly being portrayed as a bribe. He said Murphy first proposed a 10-year formal relationship with Favre in March after the quarterback's retirement and did not bring it up for the first time Wednesday during his nine-hour visit with Favre and his agent in Hattiesburg, Miss.

Good one Nolesfan, he has to consider this deal though, because Chicago doesn't have the weapons to be successful and the Vikings are so unproven that I just can't see farve making that much of a difference!

I hope not. 'Cause if he does, it will look like a blackmail payment. As if Brett was "holding them hostage" by threatening to come back & throw a monkeywrench in their set QB plans. Shut up money if you will.

Cant believe they would pay him $20 mil to not play. Hey Packers I have a lot more experience than Brett Farve at NOTplaying quarterback. I havent played since 1985 how about considering paying me to not play I cant start (or stop) immediately. I will be waiting for your call

I sure hope he don't take this. I still think that Rodgers will be hurt in the preseasong. Favre should go to training camp and bide his time. It is only a matter of time before they put him in.

let Favre and T.T. have a riding lawn mower race to determine who gets their way. That would be a huge draw in Mississippi.

Uhh, how is this not a salary cap violation? Can the Patriots pay Peyton Manning to stay home? It might be worth it.
Meanwhile, Jeff George must be thinking about coming out of retirement- I am sure lots of teams will pay him to stay home.
