Moss signed with the New England Patriots.In a second instance, Favre said he once tried to convince Thompson to re-sign Marco Rivera and Mike Wahle, two key linemen, but the two got away and signed elsewhere.In a third case, Favre told Van Susteren he tried to convince Thompson to interview Steve Mariucci, an old friend, 4 the head coaching job vacated by Mike Sherman. Favre said Thompson ended up hiring Mike McCarthy instead.“And none of those had anything to do with me retiring once again but, you know, it’s hard 4 me to trust, you know, this guy when I — either I’m told one thing and everyone else is told another, or he’s telling the public one thing and telling me another. And so — and that’s part of the reason 4 the release” Favre said of his request to be released by the Packers to pursue other opportunities. “Not only was I told that playing here was not an option, we’re moving on — it’s kind of in their company line, moving on. That’s OK.”</blockquote>
