Brett Favre

How sweet it would be for Mr. Packer to end his career wearing a Minnesota Viking uniform. Unfortunately, as the Favre Saga continues, the less likely it looks that he will end up wearing a Viking uniform and end his career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Taking a look at it from the Green Bay Packers seat, I can see why it is so hard to let him go to a different team. They wanted him to retire a Green Bay Packer and not "tarnish the legacy." However, you have to look at this strictly from a future perspective. The Packers have three realistic options: Start him, Trade him to the Vikings, Trade him Elsewhere.

• If you start him, you're basically throwing Aaron Rodgers away. They've said that Rodgers is the future and good for them for sticking true to it. But you have to realize that Rodgers won't be able to become the next Tom Brady (in which Brady took over for Drew Bledsoe). If you think that Favre is done and can't compete, you have to trade him for the best you can get.

• Which brings us to the Vikings. I have little to no question that the Minnesota Vikings are offering the best trade for the Packers. If you don't think he is good enough to play at a top level, you need to get what you can get for him. On the flip side, if he's still good enough to play at a high level...you have to start him. It's definitely a huge problem for the Packers.

• Trading him elsewhere is probably the best option for the Packers. You lose him and don't play him as often as the Vikings. Problem is, he's still playing somewhere. You still have the fans that will compare his stats. Trading him to the Vikings, you at least have the fans that will continue to hate the Vikings and will forget about Favre or refuse to compare numbers as then they're complementing the Vikings.

In the end, the Packers are backed into a corner. Brett Favre has had the upper hand since the very beginning of this whole debacle. As a Viking fan, it is wonderful to see because whatever happens, the Packers are in major turmoil. It's only icing on the cake if the Vikings landed Favre.

Prediction: Favre ends up playing one year with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers before landing somewhere else.
Bet on It: Favre gets traded the the TB Buccaneers and then is flipped to the Minnesota Vikings. 30:1
