Favre reinstatement delayed again, #4 mulling $20 million offer not to play

For the 4th day in a row, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has delayed making a decision about reinstating Brett Favre to the Green Bay Packers, giving Favre more time to mull the 10 year, $20 million offer from the Packers to not play.

“There isn’t a perfect solution to this, but [Packers president] Mark Murphy is at least trying,” Favre told ESPN’s Ed Werder via text message on Thursday night. “We know what they want and where I stand. His solution, although awkward and unsettling for most, may be the best in the end.”

Packers coach Mike McCarthy believes that this deal would benefit both #4 and the Pack, saying

“Brett needs to stay a part of football. Obviously, he’s a part of the Green Bay Packers.

He also quashed talk that this was a last-ditch bribe to keep Favre from not reporting to camp while also keeping him away from the Vikings, saying

“This is really something that’s been out there all along.”

He went on to say that this was first brought up during Favre’s retirement conference in March.

This whole thing has evolved into a massive joke, and it reeks similar to the way former Chicago Bulls GM Jerry Krause destroyed the dynasty. He got rid of Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and Phil Jackson so he and Jerry Reinsdorf could build their own dynasty, even though they could all still perform at a high level. Just like the Packers are now with Favre, committing to Aaron Rodgers, because they have stressed moving forward, even though Favre is still way better than Rodgers.

Anytime you get compared to Jerry Krause for the way you treat a legend, you know you are a villain.
