The Facts:
WTMJ-TV Channel 4 in Milwaukee, citing two sources, reported Wednesday that Packers president Mark Murphy at least floated the idea to Favre of paying him a package in the neighborhood of $20 million over 10 years to remain retired.
Reported by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
In case you're just coming out of a coma, Murphy met most of Wednesday with Favre and his agent, Bus Cook, in Mississippi. ... Journal Sentinel staffer Greg A. Bedard believes this report (if true) could cripple the Packers in court of public opinion as it could be interpreted as a bribe to Favre, a player that has said he wants to continue his career. We're not so sure; some might consider resolution -- any resolution -- better than the endless drama. ... Whatever the case, Favre apparently didn't think much of the Packers' offer, as Cook told reporters that his client wished to return to the Packers. "Right now he's interested in going back to the Green Bay Packers," Cook said while
seemingly conceding that might never happen.
