Brett Favre to Bucs? Rumors persist
Brett Favre has been working out near his Mississippi home.
According to Bay News 9's partner newspaper, the St. Petersburg Times, the idea of the future Hall of Fame quarterback being acquired by Tampa Bay has at least been discussed by Bucs' officials.
Quarterback Chris Simms said General Manager Bruce Allen asked him how he thought Favre would fare in the Bucs offense with limited practice time. Allen has declined to comment on whether the Bucs might be interested in Favre.
Tampa Bay opens its 2008 training camp on Saturday.
The Packers have been making phone calls to other teams to gauge interest in the 38-year-old Favre.
Favre retired in early March, but recently has been having second thoughts about playing in 2008.
He has asked to be released from his contract, a request the team has no plans to grant. The team has said it is committed to Aaron Rodgers, Favre's former understudy, as its quarterback of the future.
