There was an articles in Sunday's paper [I can't find a link to it today] that said that the Packers would not start Bret if he was reinstated and would not be realeased...


On Saturday, general manager Ted Thompson and coach Mike McCarthy said they didn't plan to grant Favre's request. And while Thompson said Favre could rejoin the team in a "different role," the Packers were committed to going with Aaron Rodgers as their starter.

...but that a trade was not out of the question.

In looking for that one I found this one: Rally held to pressure Packers to reinstate Favre (http://www.newsobserver.com/1577/story/1140436.html)


Brett Favre's fans came to his defense Sunday, rallying outside Lambeau Field to pressure the Green Bay Packers to reinstate him as the starting quarterback. The crowd of more than 100 chanted "We want Brett," and carried signs reading, "Favre for President" or "Favre Forever." Many in the parking lot wore No. 4 jerseys, tossed footballs and grilled.

the article goes on to say:


The Packers said if Favre wanted to play for them, he had the chance when he told them a few weeks after his tearful goodbye news conference that he was having second thoughts. With Thompson and McCarthy preparing to fly to Mississippi and seal the deal on a comeback, all Favre had to do was say yes. He didn't.

So what should they do:

Play him as the starter
Use him as the backup
Release him
Trade him

The Packers should retire in calm, and take up golf.

OH WAIT .... I thought you meant BILLY PACKER.

Whoops. I misread the thread title.
