Per Peter King on Favre \ Jets Response: MERGED

If this is true, it means they will not/can not be any kind of a player in free agency. They will have to assume he is coming back at $13 million, and therefore will have to make every other possible cut needed just to get under the cap.

I refuse to believe they are that stupid.

so for argument sake we give him months, we cut all these players to get under the cap, but add no one through FA because were assuming he is coming back. what if after all that Favre flips a switch and retires?

We look like morons because we cut all these players, saved all this money and for what, so favre can shoot some deer this offseason and finally decide he wants to retire?

I am really quite surprised by this but its just King's opinion so it really doesnt matter. I think the decision will be made sooner than we think.

Favre will have to come to mini camp. The Jets and Woody are on record. He won;t come if he plans to retire. King is a douche.

Who cares?

They are obviously going to plan for a season without him even if he does say he is coming back... he wont be here past this year and is already injured heading into the season... there will be a plan in place for life without him regardless...

One of my friends emailed me busting my balls saying the Jets were kissing Favre's a$$. And told him he can decide whenever he wants.

Anyone see exactly what King said? I missed it.

1st of all congratulations on finally getting a friend (one of ?? I don't know)

He claimed Tanny told Favre to take as long as he wants to come to a decision, months if needed but the front office has disputed his claim

King is again throwing out multiple scenarios and when he gets one right he will claim to know everything AGAIN...

personally, I think this is a brilliant move by the JETS. it puts them in total control. it takes away any game playing by Favre. if he had any thoughts of maneuvering his way to another team, that's all done now. the JETS basically told him " you will be on the roster, we have room for your salary". now he has two choices, play for the JETS or retire, that's it.

if the JETS give him until free agency, all the power stays with Favre. he then knows that they have to trim salary to get under the cap forcing them to release him in the 11th hour. he has no power now. great move by the JETS.

per the star ledger...

Jets spokesman Sunday night denied a report by Sports Illustrated's Peter King that general manager Mike Tannenbaum has told quarterback Brett Favre to take "months" if necessary to make a decision on whether he wants to retire or return to the team next season.

King, speaking on NBC before the Super Bowl, reported that Tannenbaum had his first offseason conversation with Favre this past week and informed the quarterback he didn't have to "rush" his decision.

The club said it still hopes to have "an indication" from Favre on his plans by the time the NFL Combine begins Feb. 18 in Indianapolis, which is what Tannenbaum said during coach Rex Ryan's introductory press conference.

Who did King claim to have "just got off the phone with" who allegedly fed him this nonsense?

I think he said the same thing that was posted in the existing Peter King thread.
