I went with doesn't come back.</div> This is the perfect time to ask this because right now it can really go in several directions. He could still end up on the Green Bay team, doing individual drills, and backing up Rogers. After all the the Packers have done (or not done) I can really believe it. I think he ends up playing for whatever team Roger Goodell tells the Packers to trade him to.
If I were Thompson & McCarthy, here is what I'd do; Given how Chucky likes to collect veteran QB's, Trade Favre to Tampa for Simms and a third. The Pack would have a decent insurance policy for Rodgers. Flynn & Brohm would battle it out for the #3 position w/ the loser headinng to the PS. Green Bay would be set @ QB regardless of what happens to AR after his contract is up.

Favre is in total control of this situation because the Packers can't keep him. The ship has sailed. They tried to pay him off, but he said no. He will be a Viking. The Packers will trade him there so they at least get something for him.

He was a 2nd round pick. Those never go on P.S.
They wouldnt be the 1st team to keep 4 QBs on the roster if they didnt think they could get Flynn though waivers....

But in thoth's scenario, he was saying the loser would go to the P.S. If the Packers only keep 3 QBs on the roster (using thoth's scenario), there won't be an open competition for that 3rd spot. It will go to Brohm.
Too soon to call. A Redskins like senario could occur between now and time that this is settled and the Pack could end up trading him to a team not on the radar right now.

There is no way a team trades for him if he threatens retirement, and I don't see the Pack keeping this distraction on their team for an entire season. They'll cave in at some point. Tough call to make at this point though.
