I'm a lifelong Green Bay Packer fan. I've lived and died with Brett Favre's gameplay; his amazing tenacity, toughness - the ability to throw a huge overtime touchdown pass or rip your guts out with an INT. But enough is enough. I'm tired of hearing that Brett holds all the cards in the "will he come back" scenario. BULL****. If I was management, here's how I'd handle the situation:
You wanna come back? Fine. You're the backup. Period. You will get into the game if Aaron gets hurt. We need to move on Brett. We've loved everything you have done for this organization but here's what it is. You will not be released, you will not be traded to another team (so you can come back to hurt us in a playoff game). You can help us by being a gracious backup, and if we need you, you're good to go. After your contract is done, you are free to pursue employment with another team.
Take it or keep enjoying retirement.

Pretty rough on the greatest Packer to ever live. I would trade him to Tampa for a 3rd. He won't go away and he won't make it easy. At least get something and hope he continues the interception train with a different team. It's his legacy. Show some stones and get rid of him. It is the GM's job to do what is right for the team, not himself. Brett's job is to do what's right for him.
Brett's job is to do what's right for him. What's right for him? Tell the organization that you want to un-retire in March and then change your mind AGAIN two days before the draft? Sure I'd trade him, to the suckiest team that I can find; 49ers, Dolphins, Texans. I could take his selfishness to a point, but after the retirement, things changed.
