I think when all is said and done that Favre remains with the Packers myself.

The release request is nothing more than forcing the Packers hand to make something happen. They wanted him back as late as the March retirement presser. At that point they had no choice but to assume he was done. According to ESPN's John Clayton favre said he felt pressured to make a decision before he was ready and considering how he felt at that time, he decided he could not comit going forward. makes sense all around IMO.

Now the ego of Ted Thompson has taken a direct shot, and he is playing a game he cannot win. If anything when Favre in re-instated by Goodell, TT will look for something on the trade market, but not many clubs can absorb the 3 yearsand 39 million still left on his deal, which will resign TT to just bringing Favre back into the Packers fold.

There is almost ZERO chance Favre will be released putright IMO. That means he will be playing somewhere and i still think that GB is the most likely, and best, fit.
