[QUOTE="4thand26, post: 232576, member: 498"] Let's assume that all this Favre talk of him wanting his release is true. Who has the upper hand in him actually being released or not? From both view points: Packers: They have the contract with Brett. THey can trade him. Or, they can tell Brett no thanks, we arent going to trade you. You will start the season as Rodgers backup. I am guessing Brett would NOT accept that fate. Maybe if the Packers stick to their guns on that position, Brett will be stuck with no options and either say ok, I will play for GB or he will just stay retired, with no other options. The other angle is that who can really trade for a 12.5M dollar contract at this point in the season? Favre: He is stuck in a contract with the Packers. It seems like he will not play for GB. He has apparantly asked for his 'no strings attached' release. If the Packers wanted to accomadate their prized boy, they could just let him go. Would not make much business sense. If Brett plays hard ball, could he write a letter to all teams, CC: the packers, and say I will retire if you trade for me. It seems like this would kill any trade possiblilities. I think Brett wants to play (for the records), so I beleive that if the Packers stick to their guns, this would backfire on Brett. Who has the upper hand in this situation? I think it is the Packers for the sole reason that they can tell him that he will be the backup qb and that is that. The worst that could happen is that GB will break the NFL record for highest paid backup. Any other angles? [/QUOTE]
