The Packers have reportedly offered Favre $20 million over 10 years to basically go away. That compares to $12 million he would receive next year if he were to play for the Packers.Goodell made it clear he thinks the situation has lingered long enough.
“I think we have to force it,” Goodell said. “I think it’s come to the point where there need to be some decisions made on behalf of the Packers, on behalf of Brett, on behalf of all the fans.”
If Favre comes out of retirement, he might have 2 maybe 3 years left before he gets dangerously close to permanent brain damage. Next year he'll be paid $12 million, but thats from a lingering contract. I don't see him making much more than $20 million for the rest of his NFL career.
Favre needs to accept the "marketing contract" the Packers offered that might even go higher than $20 million, because he's not only saving himself from having to practice every day, he's saving his health, and his family from unnecessary stress.
There's no question about it, Brett Favre wants to return so that he can play in the playoffs again. The little Brett inside of him is not aching to rejoin his teammates on the practice field, he just wants to shove it to the new quarterbacks du jour like Tom Brady and Eli Manning.
I'm starting to think that the only reason Brett Favre wants to come back is because he saw Eli Manning win a Super Bowl. It wasn't even that Eli got carried to the Super Bowl, he suddenly magically turned into a clutch player and drove the Giants to the championship. The same guy who had a 32.2 QB Rating against the Buffalo Bills in the second to last game of the season.
I couldn't believe my eyes, so I can't imagine what Brett Favre was thinking.
$%!@#%$%$%$#@!!!!!I feel for you Brett, but let it gooooo. Think of it this way. Eli will only make $8.5 mil next year and $9 mil in 2008. You can pocket that amount for doing nothing! You have officially become $20 million worth of annoyingness. Janice from Friends bows to you.
I'm a billion times better than that mothe#@$#@$%$#@!!!
I don't know if these pictures are real. But these are supposedly Eli at his finest:
