Source: Favre Already Signed with Minnesota

From Pro Football Talk:

The rumor that the source would neither confirm nor deny is that the Vikings already have signed Brett Favre, and that the team and Favre are waiting to release the news.

If accurate, this means that the Vikings have a signed contract that they have yet to submit to the league office. Setting aside for now the question of whether league rules permit such tactics, it puts into perspective recent developments such as Favre’s use of “we” when discussing the matter with Artie Lange’s biatch, the visit by a Vikings trainer to Favre to check on his arm, and reports that coach Brad Childress wanted to see Favre participate in some of the offseason workouts.

These details all make much more sense if Favre already is a member of the team.


Here we go again...

Knowing the sly, underhanded nature of Brett Favre, I wouldn't put this past him or the Vikings. Having gone through the trials and tribulations of Favre, as a Jets fan, watching this from afar will be interesting. It'll be like watching a re-run. We already know what's going to happen.

PFT also would not confirm nor deny that the Vikings and Reebok have already began the production of purple number 4's.
