This would be sweet. Scenario:
Panthers are 5-0. Delhomme goes down in Tampa for the season, we lose.
ENTER FAVRE.
King:
My idea: Favre gives the Packers a list of 12 teams outside the NFC North he'd accept a trade to. I'm talking the best teams, like Indy or New England. And if any of those teams suffered a quarterback injury or replaced a quarterback because of performance, Thompson would agree to make a deal with that team based on a sliding scale of compensation depending on when the trade would be made. If a primo team had an injury to its quarterback in Week 4 and could get Favre for a fourth-round pick that could turn into a three or two, they'd jump at it.
Are there problems with this? Yes. You can't force a team to trade for a player, even a player with something left in his tank like Favre. And what if an injury occurs after the Oct. 14 trading deadline? I don't have an answer for that. But staying home, staying in shape, and playing the waiting game has some appeal to Favre. He's not a confrontational person, so I think if he reports to camp this week, he's not going to like the mayhem that ensues and he and the Pack will be looking for a compromise. Maybe that entails keeping him on the roster and paying him to stay away. I don't know. But the endgame, I believe, has to result in Favre on another team at some point this season.
