Favre Will retire

[ralaw]

Can't say that I really blame them. With Favre, they are at the top of the NFC contenders list. Without him, they'd be doing good to have a .500 season.

The Vikings would have been better served in the long term to press for McNabb or some other option at QB in the offseason. Not taking Claussen in the draft was pretty stupid as well.

I don't see how Favre could turn down $16 million a year. Before Favre the Vikings won 10 games with Jackson as the QB. Without Favre the Vikings are a good team (10-11 wins), but with him they're SB contenders. Favre's presense is worth maybe a win or two and more hope going into the playoffs.

According to WFAN, Favre's working out in Mississippi, and the Vikes are prepared to offer him $20mil for another year. So much for retirement.

Shows you how much confidence Minnesota has in Sage and Tavaris.

All this retirement talk the past couple of days, I always thought it was Brett trying to get more out of Minny. Wouldn't be surprised if Minny gave him a raise.

Bad job by the Vikings front office. They should be developing a young QB to take over when Brett finally calls it quits. It's obvious Tavaris isn't the answer.

I just don't trust him IN the playoffs.

That's one of the things that pissed Brett off in GB, though he may see things differently now.

They could win 10 games without Favre but I just don't see how they win a single game or the division vs. the Packers.

Could be but money has never been known as a motivator for him. Of course he is married and we know how our wives feel about money :laugh:

Not buying this at all.

He's married to a woman, so I wouldn't either.

Brett: "They just offered me 20M to come back"
