[QUOTE="PackinSteel, post: 63196, member: 415"] Here's how I see it - The Packers, nor any other team, can ever afford to make off-season moves with the intent of placating any one single player. They need to be made with the team's future (this season, next season and beyond) in mind. How many times have veteran players in all sports gone all the way through training camp and even into the season and then hung it up? It happens andit could happen to Packers yet. Thompson and McCarthy need to (and I believe are) planning to play with the roster they have (plus the draft). But they are preparing to move ahead if the situation demands it - as they must be. That preparation can't and shouldnt necessarily have to mean signing a big name FA just because they think (or perhaps the fans think?) it would sway Favre's mind. What if Favre finally announces he'll be back but get's hurt in pre-season? Team's really can build through the draft. The Packers have done it for the most part. Look at my Steelers - their biggest FA pickup of recent years was Duce Staley - and he hardly even played during their Super Bowl season. They played a team built through the draft. Don't get me wrong - I'd love to see the man play another year or 2. He's still capable and is amazing to watch whether the team is 12-4 or 4-12. [/QUOTE]
