Favre may go to the Vikings or Bears after all

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is reporting that the Packers may end up trading Brett Favre to either the Vikings or Bears if they can't find a suitable deal with any other team. This makes sense for the Packers.

Current season be damned, if the Packers can't get a 3rd rounder for him from anyone else but can from either of those two teams, they should take it. It would be better for the long-term health of the franchise. If they cared about this year or next year so much, they would probably welcome back Favre and name him the starter anyway. It's time they apply the (correct, I think) longer view to a trade just as they are doing with their QB situation.
