Earlier we published thoughts on Brett Favre's interview with Fox News, during which he slated Ted Thompson, the Packers GM, for not re-signing Marco Rivera or Mike Wahle in 2004.
A reader informs that the Packers were actually unable to sign Wahle or Rivera due to salary cap issues. The team had just $975,000 left at the end of the season, the second least amount of room in the whole league. As we said, Favre is the Quarterback for a reason, and his GM skills leave something to be desired.
Not only that, but neither Rivera or Wahle has had much success outside of Green Bay. Wahle is now with the Seahawks, after being released by Carolina after just three seasons, while Rivera is out of the league completely after being released by the Cowboys last season.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing as a General Manager, but we don't think Favre give up his day job just yet.
Actually, what the hell is his day job?
