From Chris Mortensen and Ed Werder of ESPN.com:
Minnesota Vikings coach Brad Childress has imposed a deadline of this week for Brett Favre to decide whether he will be the team's quarterback for the upcoming season, according to two sources.
Favre, however, is apparently reluctant to commit to playing a 19th NFL season without first being more confident the arthroscopic surgery performed recently on his throwing shoulder has succeeded in eliminating all of the problems related to a torn biceps tendon.
It would seem reasonable that both Favre and the Vikings want to know his shoulder is healthy before reaching an agreement, and the team is virtually certain to insist on seeing the 39-year-old quarterback throw before any contract is signed. Minnesota has four organized team activity sessions this week, beginning Tuesday.
So, Chilly is officially the last person in the country to figure out whether or not Brett wants to play for Minnesota.
a deadline of this week, then next week, possibly into next month etc etc
This should be interesting - Brett has never done very well with play/retire deadlines.....
The key phrase is an oxymoron, ala jumbo shrimp; that is: 39-year old QB. It's '99 no more; now, the Vikes are gonna have to roll with either Rosenfals or Jackson.
Who blinks first? Brett or Chilly? My money is on Chilly, as his seat is awful warm (pun intended), unless he brings home a big winner this year, with or without Favre.
I don't like the whole Brett Favre idea in Minnesota, Tavares Jackson is under rated and Brett Favre would fit in more in Denver where he is clearly better than Kyle Orton rather than in Minnestoa where he would be putting a great football player on the bench.
