One can only hope that this assessment is right.
Personally, I would love to see Brett in a Vikings uniform, but the fact of the matter is that the Packers' organization doesn't want him in the division; and although many could argue, the Packers do have the leverage in this case, and Brett should consider himself lucky to be playing next year, while being on a playoff-caliber team. |

Applied for reinstatement yesterday. Could be in camp Friday. Link

"That's obviously the first step in Brett coming back, so we'll deal with that when he is reinstated and we'll definitely have a plan in order," Packers coach Mike McCarthy said after practice Tuesday afternoon.
If Goodell reinstates Favre today, his return to the practice field for the Packers could come Friday. The Packers practice twice today but can wait a day to put Favre back on their active roster. The team does not have a scheduled public practice Thursday.

According to a source with knowledge of the trade talks, Brett Favre has refused to speak to any of the teams the Packers have identified as possible trade partners, making it unlikely one of those teams would risk giving away a draft pick or a player for someone who might retire again if he doesn't like the trade.

Report: Packers offer Favre $20 million to stay home
By Greg A. Bedard

Green Bay - The Green Bay Packers are so desperate to not have Brett Favre report to training camp that they reportedly offered him a substantial amount of money to stay home.
WTMJ-TV Channel 4 in Milwaukee, citing two sources, reported Wednesday that Packers president Mark Murphy at least floated the idea to Favre of paying him a package in the neighborhood of $20 million over 10 years to remain retired. Murphy met most of Wednesday with Favre and his agent, Bus Cook, in Hattiesburg, Miss.
A source subsequently confirmed that the Packers have discussed monetary compensation with Favre and Cook.

NFL reinstatement delayed again as Favre mulls Packers' $20M offer
ESPN.com news services
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Brett Favre's reinstatement to the NFL was held up again Friday as the three-time MVP mulled getting paid not to play through a marketing deal with the Green Bay Packers that could resolve the standoff over his retirement.
The potential agreement, worth a reported $20 million over 10 years, might end Favre's bid to return just months after retiring. It also would likely keep him from reporting to Packers training camp and a team that is not planning to start him at quarterback for the first time since 1992.
After talking to Packers president Mark Murphy about the non-playing marketing deal Wednesday, Favre confirmed he was actively weighing it to ESPN NFL reporter Ed Werder on Thursday.
Packers coach Mike McCarthy made it clear Friday that, from the team's perspective, the agreement would be more than a buyout to make an awkward situation go away.
McCarthy said the potential contract could benefit Favre and the team. More importantly, it also could resolve their standoff over Favre's retirement. The deal has apparently been in the works for months. McCarthy first heard about it at Favre's retirement news conference in March.
"Brett needs to stay a part of football," McCarthy said after practice in Green Bay on Friday morning. "Obviously, he's a part of the Green Bay Packers. This is really something that's been out there all along."
