Favre Wants to be Traded?

Hmm...according to Mr. Whitlock, Favre does not want to retire. He actually wants to be traded. I don't actually believe that, and I think most Packer fans assume that Brett began his career in Green Bay and would prefer to end it here. But, if you think about it, the thought of a trade does make some sense.

Positives:

• Favre could get traded to a playoff-caliber team and would have the opportunity to make the playoffs and chase down one more SuperBowl title. Green Bay definitely looks like it's in the re-building stage and won't be a playoff worthy team.
• Green Bay could get some decent players and/or picks back for Favre and might make rebuilding a little quicker. They also have the chance to see if Rogers is any good at QB.
• The Packers also could free up a lot of cap space with which to go after some free agents.
  
• Favre could go someplace closer to home, as Whitlock says Miami and Tampa Bay are options.

Negatives

• The Packer organization would get lambasted by the fans. Packer nation would be bitter about the trade for years to come.
  
• Favre would be going the route of Joe Montana with the Chiefs...it could be sad to see an aging quarterback just not be what they used to be.
• Oh, to be a Packer fan and see Brett succeed with another team that makes it to the playoffs. That would be hard to watch.

In the end, I don't think a trade would happen. But...what are your thoughts on this intriguing possibility.
