Favre-to-Vikings move possible
The Brett Favre-Vikings rumors have been circulating for a week. It's risky, but if the Vikings are unable to trade for Matt Cassel of New England or Matt Hasselbeck of Seattle, it wouldn't be shocking if they made a run at Favre should he become available, as expected. New Jets coach Rex Ryan expects Favre to attend offseason workouts, which Favre rarely did when he was in Green Bay. Currently, Favre counts for nearly $13 million on the Jets' tight salary cap, and they could save that money if they place him on waivers next month. The future hall of famer would then become a free agent and available to the Vikings, who were interested in him last summer. No doubt he would sell a lot of tickets in Minnesota despite the sour economy. Farve, 39, finished last season with a sore shoulder. If he shows he can still pass and play, his one-year price tag would be expected to be in the $9 million range.

i for one still believe favre can get it done. and i believe the vikes were the best fit for him from the beginning and its truly were he wanted to go. better defense than the jets and certainly a beast of a running game. if favre becomes a free agent i could actually see this coming to fruitiion.

He still makes WAY too many mistakes. People knock Jackson for making poor decisions, but Favre is as cavalier with the ball as anybody has ever been. Ask the Jets how well that whole thing went. It's not a good idea.

If Favre is your QB you better have a great defense becaue he's going to give the ball to the other team ALOT!!!!!!

I expect the Vikes to make a push for some big free agents, but we also need to resign guys like Birk, Kleinsasser, and Sharper who are key parts to our team. How about we get a right tackle while we're at it. A QB fixes most of our problems, but not Favre. Go get Cassel, Hasslebeck is to injury prone, but is good when healthy.

lol...I'm assuming the minnisota GM actually watched him play last year.
Believe me - as a JETS fan- I'd LOVE for them to take him off our hands- but doubt it will happen

I believe the packers put in a no NFC NORTH trade clause. LOOK IT UP. If he goes there Jets have to forfeit alot of draft picks

Please take him. He'll start out super fast and fade like usuall. And if you make the playoffs he'll be throwing his punts in the air hoping for someone to catch it with his fingers crossed.

In a way, I almost hope this happens. Then Brett Favre can ruin the collective psyche of ANOTHER fanbase. But I do like Adrian Peterson so I kinda hope it doesn't happen. Nothing like seeing your playoff hopes go down in flames as Favre throws another interception. Of course, it will probably end the same way with Tavaris Jackson, but he doesn't cost nearly as much against your salary cap.
