What now?

I know everyone is getting sick of this story, but it’s like the Energizer Bunny … it just keeps going and going and going.

Brett Favre says he was willing to go to camp and compete for his job. The Packers said that there was no competition, Aaron Rogers was getting the starting job regardless.

There’s talk of a trade, but so far that’s all there is — talk.

Favre still isn’t resigned either. So what now? Is he going to have to stay retired?

Here’s an update I heard from Peter King on the Dan Patrick Show this morning:

King: “The bottom line is that Favre could retire. I know he wants to play again but this thing has so many layers there are no absolutes. There is a lot of tension, and by Wednesday (if Favre shows up) it’s going to be hell here. There’s a lot of anger pointed at Ted Thompson. There will be cat calls and things like that. When Favre gets here it’s not going to be pretty. The only thing he wants is to be released. He’s forcing the Packers hand. He knows now that his future in Green Bay is over. He spoke with Ted Thompson, who told him on Saturday that they don’t want him back. As far as a trade goes, Thompson is trying to balance what is best for the team. But Favre doesn’t want to be traded. He wants to be released so he can pick the team. Wherever he ends up going, the motivation to stick it to the Packers is going to be pretty high on his list.”

That’s the scoop — straight from the “King’s” mouth!
