Title: Possible destinations for Brett Favre

Now that the Packers have announced they do not intend to release Brett Favre, his ability to change teams is diminished. But there's still a fair chance he'll land somewhere else this season -- and you can bet these teams will be keeping a close eye on how Favre's situation plays out.

DART.init( { "site_key_name":"spn.nfl", "zone":"article", "pos":"right1", "tile":"2", "sz":"300x250" });
1. Minnesota Vikings. Tarvaris Jackson might have improved down the 2007 stretch, but a team ready to win now could not get more of a win-now quarterback than Favre. Plus, Favre has spent the better part of his career in a West Coast offense, like the one Brad Childress operates.

2. Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Jon Gruden has an obvious affinity for veteran quarterbacks. He got big-time production out of a mid-30s Rich Gannon in Oakland, and just last year, Jeff Garcia -- who is all of four months younger than Favre -- guided Gruden's Bucs to the playoffs.

3. Baltimore Ravens. This is a team that was 13-3 just two years ago and still has a boatload of talent on defense. Signing Favre would allow the team to sit first-round pick Joe Flacco and perhaps add the piece that could make the Ravens a threat to the Patriots, Chargers and Colts in the AFC.

4. Chicago Bears. Another team that's just a year removed from a stellar season, one that ended in a Super Bowl loss, and boasts a top-shelf defense (if healthy). One question lingers here: Does the team have a good enough offense for Favre to shine? Would he take the risk of failing with middling talent around him?

5. New York Jets. Some would put Seattle in the top five because of coach Mike Holmgren, but the guess is the Jets might be a better fit. Like the Bears and Ravens, they were in the playoffs in 2006 and had problems at quarterback last fall. If anyone can cut those vicious Meadowlands winds, it would be Favre. (1 image)

The Jets did a ton of free agent pick ups, and had a decent draft. Pennington is made a balsa wood, and their owner, Woody Johnson (THE Johnson's) spends money. I'd love it given we're the ugly step sister to the NY Giants.

Yes, but you also picked up Bill Callahan. FB death follows him everywhere he goes. ;-)

Does this mean that Farve's contract is still in effect? If so, why wouldn't he just kick-it on the bench and see how things go? He must be making million$.

He doesn't like the coach's system, and the many, many hours of tape review; it's no fun anymore.

In that case, blow off the practices, and the film sessions and make them cut him, to free up a roster spot.

Or maybe, he's just ready to hang'em up.

Who knows?

This sort of stuff makes me glad to no longer give a fig about sports.

I bagged baseball after the Mets won in '86. The strikes took the fun out of the game for me, and before that I never quite forgave Curt Flood for pretending to be in economic slavery to the Cards. That said, college football, and to a lesser degree the pros, are fun for me. Weekends in the Fall gets me away from all the morose news we wallow in daily. It's good for what's left of my fragile mental state.

I'm liking this thread so much I think some sort of weekend cigar den category might be cool for any other football aficionados.

I believe all 6 of us that appreciate the college variety of football would take kindly to the concept. ;-)

I'll read it with some interest, but after they hosed Darrell Royal, and Tom Landry, I just shut it down.

It is BIG business and not a 'sport' any longer. As some pundit once said, "Can your ni$$ers, beat my colored boys?"

I no longer need it.
