Brett Favre Wants To Play For The Panthers? - NFL

That's not a reputable link, that's just a rumor with no proof.

#1- Favre is under contract with the Packers.
#2- His contract would pay him over 12 mil if he played, which makes it hard for any team to pick him up unless they have a lot of cap space.
#3- He would only come back if he played for a winner (he's made this clear), and while the Panthers fit the bill, the bears and dolphins do not. The Packers had 13 wins last year, why leave that?
#4- Favre would not be a back up, that being said, the Panthers would not fit the bill. Only the bears and dolphins would, but again see #3.

So while we are all talking crazy rumors (especially since Favre himself said there is nothing to all this talk) I think Favre will come out of retirement and sign with the Skins, take over the starting job, but befriends Campbell, and we will the super bowl. Yaaaaay!
