Favre to Falcons? Stop dreaming
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Let’s dream a little. That’s because none of the following ever will happen for so many reasons, but what the heck?
Brett Favre wants to play again, and if you read between the lines of what his former bosses in Green Bay aren’t saying, they don’t want him back. They want to start fresh at quarterback with the Aaron Rodgers regime. They want Favre to keep his word after last season about retiring - at least from the Packers.
So, since Favre still wants to play (and he should after a splendid 2007 despite his 38-year-old arm), he will have to do so somewhere else in the league.
See where I’m going?
In this wacky dream of mine, Favre would go back to the future and return to the same Falcons franchise that drafted him before mindlessly trading him to the Packers 17 years and a bunch of Hall of Fame moments ago. Favre would bridge the gap for a year or three until Matt Ryan, the Falcons’ first-round pick this season, is ready.
We all can wake up now.
There is a $72 million reason why Ryan won’t be anybody’s backup any time soon with the Falcons. Plus, at this stage of his career, Favre isn’t interested in playing for a team in the midst of a massive rebuilding program.
Then again, Favre is from Kiln, Miss., which is closer to Georgia than Wisconsin.
So maybe …
Zzzzzzzzzzzz.
