Tampa Bay Buccaneers general manager Bruce Allen is reportedly making inquries about trading for Brett Favre.
Bucs quarterback Chris Simms told a Florida newspaper, "[Allen] asked if I felt Brett would be able to come back and be good here if he didn't have a lot of reps in training camp. I said I thought he would, but there would have to be some compromise with coach Gruden. He'll just want the play called and to drop back and throw it in there. But it's something we talked about."
It's possible that the interest in Favre by Allen could be a smokescreen, but most people generally agree that the Bucs seem one of the more likely organizations that would land Favre. Their West coast offense and Favre's familiarity with head coach Jon Gruden make Tampa Bay an interesting possibility.

"We here in Florida, would love to have your Cast-Off from Green Bay named Favre. He would be welcome at any of our (3) Florida teams, but I look forward to him coming to Tampa Bay ! " This fall I sent my NFL Packer Flag north. ........ I guess I will have to get a new Tampa Bay Flag !
The Packers will be lucky to go 7-9 this season, and Rogers will be hurt within the first 6 games. This year the Vikings should take that conference. I highly doubt that Teddy (GM) and Mikey (Coach) will be around in a few of years.
Jorden was welcomed back (3) times, while Favre was shown the bench, behind Rogers. A lot of thanks for (16 ) Wonderful Years.............A Real Class Act by Green Bay ! ...... All of the Packer Executive Committee, Management and Organization Suck ! Green Bay finally deserves the name " Hicktown U.S.A."

Well floridajim, once you get our prince in a trade, the big trick will be getting him into camp to play. He isn't going to be too happy running a nothing team. Not happy even if they do buy the players tickets just so they can participate in a playoff game at season's end.
We still love our Favre up here. But in his current mind set he's much better suited to running a waffle house than an NFL offense!
