I'm guessing that's what Packers GM Ted Thompson said when hearing that Brett Favre wanted to return. What should the Green Bay Packers do about their nightmare of a Quarterback situation now that Favre wants to come back and play? They can't turn away one of the greatest QBs in history. I mean, legally they can't. He still has a 3 year, $39 million contract to play for them.
It appears the team is ready to finally begin the Aaron Rodgers era, whom they drafted in the first round back in 2005. Rodgers has this one last year left on his deal. The team has said they'd welcome Favre back, but only as Rodgers' backup. Are they really going to pay a backup QB $13 million to ride the pine?
Favre wants his outright release so he can choose his next/final stop, but the team envisions two major nightmares by doing that: 1. A PR debacle by casting off a great. 2. Long term uncertainty as Rodgers would most certainly leave Green Bay after this season.
If Favre stays...and plays....and Rodgers leaves after the season; what are the odds that Matt Millen throws millions of dollars at the yet unproven Quarterback? Of course he'd have to first sign Aveion Cason.

I heard a rumor there is a possibility that Millen has Chris Simms from Tampa Bay on his radar.
