Could Brett Favre Sign with the Bills?

Everywhere you look, you see talk about Brett Favre signing with the Minnesota Vikings. It makes a lot of sense since the Vikings have a glaring need at quarterback and Favre would love to sign with Minnesota so he can be right next door to Green Bay.
But what if Favre wants to return — but not with the Vikings? Could Brett Favre decide to sign with the Buffalo Bills?
It would also make a lot of sense. In the offseason, the Bills signed Terrell Owens to pair with Lee Evans at wide receiver. And while Trent Edwards is a solid quarterback, he’s not a great fit. Favre has the better arm and could arguably be more equipped to use Owen and Evans to his advantage.
Additionally, the Bills are in a win-now situation. Owens isn’t getting any younger and the fans and management are thirsty for postseason success. Favre would give the team more upside on offense.

I still think he’ll sign with the Vikings. He has a closer relationship to the Vikings coaching staff and already knows their offense. (And let’s not forget the “revenge” factor… said this Packer fan!)
