You may have thought that the clause the Packers threw into their Brave Favre deal would ensure he never became a Viking. The Jets would have to give the Packers three first round picks if the deal Favre to Minnesota, which seems like a pretty big bit of insurance that Favre will never wear purple.But according to Pro Football Talk, don't be so sure.
The Jets apparently reworked Favre's deal when they acquired him. He doesn't have to make appearances for the team, and he also wouldn't have to give back any of his bonus money if he retires after the season.
So PFT takes that information and takes it a step further. Mike Florio makes it clear that he's only theorizing, but potentially Favre could retire again next offseason, then try to arrange a way to end up in Minnesota.
I don't know if I buy it--for one thing, he doesn't explain how Favre would get to Minnesota. And while replacing Tarvaris Jackson with Brett Favre this year is a no-brainer, it's not as certain that Favre would be a clear upgrade next year if Jackson does show some dramatic improvement this year, something he's shown hints of against the generic defenses he's seeing during the preseason..
