Something has been decided - Favre has informed the Packers GM Ted Thompson that he will attend training camp, and will submit a letter asking for reinstatement, more than likely, today.
Looks like Brett will force the Packers hand here. Rogers or Favre will be shipped by August 1st, as they cannot coexist (Not due to personal animosity I hasten to add, but because they both believe they deserve playing time).
The following teams have the cap room available for Favre (Aside from the Packers; Figures accurate as of Monday):
Chicago $13.2 million
Jacksonville $13.7 million
San Diego $14.0 million
Philadelphia $18.4 million
Buffalo $19.9 million
Miami $20.9 million
New Orleans $24.2 million
Tampa Bay $26.2 million
Kansas City $36.6 million
Bearing in mind he wants/needs a playoff calibre team (Rule out Chicago, Miami, Kansas City) who would start him (Rule out Jacksonville, San Diego, Philadelphia, New Orleans) and you're left with Buffalo and Tampa Bay. A year behind Favre would do wonders for Trent Edwards, and, well, Garcia, Griese and McCown would be ticked off in Tampa Bay - especially Garcia who's not happy (Contract issues) anyway.
