Favre force his way to Minnesota?"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><strong>By Tyson Rauch<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You can call Brett Favre many names but the one thing you cannot call the man is stupid.\u00a0 Every move Brett makes is calculated, from his average guy image, to his press conference answers, to the way he uses sports writers as puppets to get his message out to the public.\u00a0 Currently Favre is in the middle of his \u201cthinking about retirement\u201d process, but for some reason you know there is more than retirement on his mind.<\/p>\n<p>Brett Favre is due to make $13 million dollars this year, which takes up a substantial amount of the New York Jets salary cap.\u00a0 If Favre decides to return to the Jets, there is a good chance the Jets will either have to cut some players or restructure some contracts in order to get under the cap.\u00a0 In addition it will restrict Gang Green\u2019s ability to acquire free agents with the limited cap space.\u00a0 What are the odds Mr. Favre knows this information?<\/p>\n<p>With the free agent signing period around the corner, how about a scenario where Brett informs the Jets he needs additional time to think about things?\u00a0 This would handcuff the Jets in terms of cap space, as well as leave them with uncertainty at the quarterback position.\u00a0 The scenario would almost put Gang Green in a situation where they would have to consider releasing Favre, making him a free agent.\u00a0 Lets see, Favre a free agent, something that he repeatedly asked for throughout his departure from Green Bay.\u00a0 Brett finally getting a chance to play for the Minnesota Vikings, a team that he admittedly wanted to play for last year.\u00a0 Does not sound so far fetched does it?\u00a0 Brett truly has the ball in his court and can take it to whatever team he wants to play for.<\/p>\n<p>Well stay tuned Jets fans as the next episode of \u201cAs Favre Thinks\u201d is only around the corner.\u00a0 I would not be surprised one bit if Gang Green is left scrambling to find a new quarterback.<\/p>\n<p>Discuss this in our <a
