[QUOTE="Forget Favre, post: 548874, member: 2006"] OK I went back and looked at it again and there was this in the first part: "To clarify, Brett voiced his desire to go to Minnesota before he was traded to the Jets. That was the main reason that the trade contained poison pill language that prohibited him from then getting traded to his preferred location of the Vikings. See below: [url]http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/trainingcamp08/news/story?id=3522971[/url] The NFL Network also is reporting that the Packers took great pains to ensure that Favre would not be traded to the Vikings by inserting a "poison pill" in the deal. If Favre were to be traded to Minnesota, New York would have to surrender three first-round picks to Green Bay." I'm not asking when he was with the Jets. I'm asking when he was still with the Pack. He was under contract with the Packers before the Jets. Right? So what kept him from saying to Green Bay, "Screw you guys. I'm leaving for Minnesota right now!" Why not? What is it that is in that contract that prevents him from doing whatever he wants to? Something like, "We would kidnap your daughter and shoot your dog?" What is the worst that could happen to him? Would the Packers sue him for breach of contract? Either I'm not understanding or not seeing the answer and I think it's the latter. I'm still waiting for the smoking gun or the "Aha! That's it!" moment. [/QUOTE]
