The Green Packers made a curious move yesterday in response to Brett Favre’s request to be released. They welcomed him back to the team – as a backup.
Now, I know that Brett has put them in a peculiar position, but this is just foolish.
Obviously, they are trying to play hardball with Favre, and figure that he’ll never accept a backup role. But, at the same time, Favre could force the issue and say okay.
Then what?
Can they afford to pay Brett to sit on the sidelines?
And what about starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers?
Talk about looking over your shoulder. And, you know what will happen if he struggles. The calls for Favre will be endless. And the locker room is guaranteed to be separated.
Not to mention the backlash from the fans.
The move just makes no sense.
If the Packers truly don’t want Favre on the team, they should just trade him and get the best they can in return.
It’s not ideal, but that is their best move.
The Wizard has spoken.
