If you love someone, set them free.

Sorry for the Police reference, but according to Chris Mortensen of ESPN.com Brett Favre has officially handed in a request that the Green Bay Packers release him from their roster, paving the way for #4 to ply his trade elsewhere.

The move has been anticipated in media circles for a few days now, and it puts the Packers in an unenviable situation. If they play hardball, they put Favre at odds with the organisation which owes him so much. On the other hand, releasing him would clear his $12m salary, but mean that the Pack would receive nothing in return for a player who could still command at least a first day draft choice.

We'll go through the list of teams that Favre could play for in the next article.
