[QUOTE="Lare, post: 63314, member: 114"] Although it's probably true that Favre isn't holding the Packers "hostage" at this point, I'm sure if McCarthy could speak totally candidly he would admit it is affecting their preparations for this season. First, if Brett had decided not to play they would probably have picked up another veteran QB already. Would it have been someone like Brees or Culpepper? Probably not, but it would have been someone other than the slim pickings that are available now. Next, if Brett had made his decision to play sooner he would already be learning the playbook like the rest of the players on the team are. McCarthy said they have almost 100% participation in the voluntary offseason prgram. Well guess who the "almost" is. Is Brett's indecisiveness costing the team the chance to sign other FAs? Impossible to tell for sure, but we do know at least one that wanted to talk to Brett before making a decision (Arrington). On the other hand, I doubt if the Favre situation is affecting their plans for the draft in any way. That would be determined more by their feelings on Rodgers as a future starter and Arth & Wrobel as future backups. I also don't think Favre's salary cap figure affects the team in any way. TT isn't spending the money they have now, there's little chance he has any plans to spend the $7-8 million they'll gain on the salary cap if Favre retires. [/QUOTE]
