Many insiders thought Bret would just show up to camp and do that...wait it out until an injury occurred and a team stepped up with enough compensation.
The Pats would be willing to give up next years 1st rounder for Bret Favre this year.

BillMac you are onto something with the Favre track, but let's not get distracted from another interesting possibility. Brady was a 6th-round pick who got a chance when Bledsoe went down. He sat a lot in college, and he was bound to sit a lot in the pros. He was nothing special at all in an NFL CHAMPIONSHIP SEASON of 2001-2002. He just avoided mistakes. I want to see if Cassell can take advantage of the situation. They are probably a playoff team without Brady, as it would seem. Beating the Chiefs without Brady is all right, if not spectacular. It is a more impressive win than they will get next week against the Jets. A 2-0 start, anyway.
EDIT: BTW, love the Yahoo graphic with Braylon hyping fantasy football. He got exactly zero points today in my league. Go Braylon! Go Blue!
