Brett Favre's career as a Green Bay Packer is over. He will never play another game for the team that owes him everything.  Favre realizes that it is time to move to another team and so does Packers management. The question is, why is this taking so long? It is obvious Favre wants to be traded to the Vikings. Packers management knows this, which is why they have shot down each request Favre has had for them to discuss a trade with their hated NFC North rivals. The Packers even offered Favre $20 million over 10 years to stay retired. That may be able to work for other players, but Brett Favre was never it in for the money, he just wants to play the game that has been his everything. If the Packers truly cannot stand having Favre in camp and then on the sidelines during the regular season their only hope is to trade him to the Vikings. Recent information has both sides stating that it would be a huge distraction having Favre at practice and participating. The time to trade Favre is now. If his presence at practice is huge distraction to the team imagine the media blitz when Favre is on the sidelines for a regular season game. I say trade Favre to the Vikings and move on as planned. If not, Brett Favre has to be the starting quarterback. McCarthy knows it, Thompson knows it, Rodgers knows it. End of story.
