Favre already a Viking?

Source (fanball.com) (QB - nyj) | 0 comments.

In a strange turn of events, Profootballtalk.com stumbled onto a tip that Brett Favre may have already secretly signed with the Minnesota Vikings.

Our View: When confirming the source, PFT received only, "I will not deny it...I will leave it at that" in return. This doesn't sound completely bogus, and it's part of the swirling Favre soap opera, so why wouldn't it be true? He very well could have already signed and the Vikings are just keeping it a secret from the NFL. In another juicy tidbit, Reebok has been rumored to have already approved the production of Number 4 Vikings jerseys. Hmmm.

Wilf told a group of very interested season ticket holders that the possibility of Favre playing for the Vikings next season hinges on Favre's surgically repaired right arm. "Right now, it's all up to Brett Favre in terms of where his future is at," Wilf said. "I'll just leave it at that." The comments echoed Favre's statement in an interview with HBO two days earlier. Favre said then that he is considering a return if his throwing arm will allow it and that the Vikings are the only team has has spoken to about a comeback.

Vikings owner Zigi Wylf seems to be eager to add Brett Favre to his team. The Pioneer Press reports that the owner told them, "Right now, it's all up to Brett Favre to determine where his future is at." Coach Brad Childress added, "He's making a push to come back. He won't play, unless he feels he's capable of playing at the level he's played over the course of years. I know he's working hard to get there."

Our View: Favre is working out in Mississippi...with a high school team. He is not satisfied with his arm at this point, but it seems inevitable that he signs with the Vikings. However, you can probably expect him to wait until the last minute so that he doesn't have to exert himself too much in these petty offseason workouts.

The quarterback made his first public comments since retiring in an interview Monday night on "Joe Buck Live." He said the only team he has spoken to is the Vikings - and that they would be a perfect fit because he's familiar with their offense. The three-time NFL MVP said Dr. James Andrews performed the surgery 2 1/2 weeks ago on his throwing arm. Andrews told him it would take 4-5 weeks to know if he'll be able to make all the throws he needs to. Favre said Vikings coach Brad Childress wanted him to attend Minnesota's recent organized team activities, but he declined. Asked by Buck if he would play this season, Favre replied, "Um ...

Source (CBSSports.com) (QB - nyj) | 0 comments.

News: Eventually, the Minnesota Vikings will need to know: Is Brett Favre going to play or not? The Vikings aren't showing any public impatience with the NFL's all-time leading passer, even though Favre's annual waffling over his retirement continues to cloud preparations for the season. Even the uncertainty at quarterback - will it be Tarvaris Jackson, Sage Rosenfels or Favre? - isn't enough to get coach Brad Childress to declare an end to the will-he-or-won't-he dance that's gone on for weeks. Childress said he called Favre last week, declining to elaborate on the conversation. With Favre's right arm reportedly recovering from surgery, Childress will surely want to see the 39-year-old throw before the team gives him a contract. Childress hasn't come close to suggesting Favre make up his mind soon. Asked if Favre can still be a great quarterback, the coach said this: "Don't know. Don't know. Stay tuned." [...]

According to ESPN.com, the Vikings and coach Brad Childress have imposed a deadline of this week on Brett Favre for his decision on his status for next season. Favre has said he wants to test his shoulder to make sure he is capable of playing next year.

Our View: It seems like a strange move by the Vikes to set a deadline for Favre if they really want him. First, he won't be able to throw at full strength for another month or so, which makes it difficult to make a decision. Next, Favre has shown that when he gets pressured by a team, he tends to get angry and stick it to them. Don't be shocked if this deadline is lifted, because it is unlikely Favre will commit this week.
