Jetfan13 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I think the Jets have just sent the divorce papers to Brett Favre. When owner Woody Johnson said Thursday in New York that Favre would have to participate in the offseason program if he wanted to return, he was echoing something felt in the Jets locker room and said openly after the season by safety Kerry Rhodes. Problem is, Favre will never attend a team's full offseason program. Those programs were ones he skipped for 16 springs and summers in Green Bay -- and you're kidding yourself if you think he's going to move back to New Jersey for 12 to 16 weeks in March. "I've never been in a [full] offseason program,'' Favre told me a month ago. What makes the most sense now is, sometime after the Super Bowl, Favre and the Jets having an amicable separation, and Favre retiring. This time for good. The Jets have a new coach and need to move on to a new future with Brett Ratliff, Kellen Clemens or a rookie quarterback of the next decade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, I'm one of those who'd love to have Favre back (i.e., I'm not a Favre hater), but he really needs to participate in the offseason program if he wants to stay with the team.

If Favre retires, the Jets get the Packers' 7th round pick. A nice consolation prize, but hardly worth playing hardball over. The $13M in cap space probably does more for them. Be nice to have both, but I think if Favre starts playing games they'll just cut him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put him on the "did not report - d**khead" list or something like it so he can't go anywhere else and doesn't get paid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joebabyny Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Never attended a full off season program??? Wow. Not really so surprising, this is the case for a lot of players. You have to realize a full off season program consists of more than training camp, it starts with conditioning programs in march 2 months after the regular season ends. Personally I don't see why he has to be there for the full thing, as long as he is there for all of training camp and MAYBE some ota's but that isn't even a big deal, that is really for new and developing players.

Put him on the "did not report - d**khead" list or something like it so he can't go anywhere else and doesn't get paid Besides being vindictive that does nothing but hurt the team, however. Seriously. The Jets could do what you said and would still have to account for $13 million in Favre's cap figure. Yeah, the Jets showed Favre for being a dickhead but they still had to cut players to get under the cap and couldn't sign any free agents. How does that make sense?
