Well, don't pin your hopes on it. I don't have any linkage on this, so take it fwiw... unsubstantiated interweb chatter... but word is when the Packers called the Texans about a trade, the Texans said no.

Probably not a surprising answer, either.

I see this as very short-sighted by Smith and Co.

They should have at least given a listen to what GB was willing to offer them for taking an over-the-hill, whining headache off their hands.

I would guess that they will be looking for a first day pick. The Texans need all of their draft picks. They aren't good/desperate enough to give away a high draft pick for a 1-2 year rental.

This is exactly opposite of shortsighted as far as I can tell.

Green Bay is desperate and would give us the first round pick along with Farve, that being the shortsighted part as I think some humor in that comment as I took it anyways.

I heard one of the talk radio guys say they think the market for Favre is only about a 4th rounder right now.....if some QB's get injured it could go to a second. Don't know if they were getting it from a source with a team or if that was just their best guess.

We have a winner!

Favre is now rumored to be going to the Jets. If he does, I think it would be funny if next year he pulls that same "maybe I'm retired, maybe I'm not" routine on THEM.

c'mon man, that's just a silly thing to say. what are you expecting? please take favre and 2 1st rounders? anything less than that isn't even getting a second thought. there is no reason to place all the faith in the world in schaub, i understand that but what he's shown has been very good. at this point though, despite earning his legendary status, favre is not a clearly better quarterback than schaub.
