$20m to stay home?

That's allegedly what Packers GM Ted Thompson has offered Green Bay 'nuisance' Brett Favre over 10 years to retire, shut up, and let them get on with business including offering their starting running back a contract befitting one, as opposed to the undrafted running back contract he is on.

Favre to accept? Do future hall of famers accept bribes to make life easier for teams that are playing hardball? No, and this is likely to light a fire under #4 in his determination to obtain a trade. That said, maybe, just maybe, Thompson figures that if he annoys Favre enough, he'll take a trade to wherever the Packers see fit.

Beyond the realms of possibility? Possibly, but the way the Favre situation is being played out rule NOTHING out.
