So it's turning into a standoff, although at least at this point it has not become hostile. I think what Favre needs to come back is a really bold move in free agency, I mean a real big name player or maybe two of them. At this point, I don't know who that might be, but there will be a lot of names floating around out there within a couple days. If Thompson plans to make a splash in free agency, he should move quickly.
I admit I have mixed feelings about this because Favre's performance really tailed off during the second half of last season. I'm not sure if he can maintain that fire for an entire season anymore, even if the team is better.
