Day of reckoning upon us?

Well, in Saturday's interview with Chris Mortensen of ESPN, Brett Favre gave Tuesday as a 'soft' deadline for the Packers to resolve the impassé that exists between the two sides.

As of 1pm EST, there have been no updates.

It's unlikely that Favre will be in Camp at any point today or tommorow, despite his posturing to the contrary. On the other hand, it would be very unwise for the team to try and stall the situation any longer, as this could prompt Favre to file his reinstatement papers, and then in turn forcing the Packers to either let him return, or fine him for missing camp - something that would be a PR disaster.

We'd expect a statement from one side or the other before tommorow though, as it is unlikely that without progress on a trade, Favre will let the team rest on it's laurels.
