Brett Favre has announced that he will retire instead of reporting to the Vikings training camp. The team has said that it will give Favre more time to decide and possibly more money. Last year, Favre didn't report to camp until after the second pre-season game.
This looks like a ploy by Favre to get a few more dollars from the Vikings. He has them over a barrel. The team has allowed itself to become hostage to a 41 year old quarterback.
Favre has had a brilliant career. His numbers may never be surpassed other than by Peyton Manning. I am a big fan of his for his gritty style of play.
The Vikings should be embarrassed for allowing themselves to get into this situation. Favre is still one of the best quarterbacks out there, but how could you let yourself be strung along by a player of his age?
Why don't they try and solidify their defense by signing Junior Seau? He won't be 42 until January.
