Vikings express interest (and not) in Favre
Minnesota Vikings linebacker Chad Greenway apparently doesn't talk much to Vikings president and co-owner Mark Wilf.
While Wilf says that the Vikings "have interest" in Favre, Greenway says "there is no sense in looking outside" as he questioned where Favre's "loyalties lie."
While Wilf says that the Vikings "have interest" in Favre, Greenway says "there is no sense in looking outside" as he questioned where Favre's "loyalties lie."
"Certainly a player of Brett Favre's (credentials), a Hall of Fame quarterback, with the competitive (drive) he has, that is a player that we would have interest (in), as we would have (for) other players," Wilf said. "But, again, it's (a) process of evaluation and a variety of factors that go into it, and that has to play itself out, and I defer to our coach and our personnel people to really evaluate those issues."Favre, who has begun throwing, will likely play if major surgery isn't needed to repair the bicep he tore at the end of last season.
"At the same time, he's retired a couple of times, so you wonder where his loyalties lie," Greenway said. "For us, it's about: We're moving forward with what we've got here. We have a team that can obviously win at a high level, and we have a team that moving forward we think can really compete for an NFC North title again and get to the championship game and hopefully further. As good as something may sound, we have a great team to play with right now, and there is no sense in looking outside of what we have."
