Bret Favre was tremendously disappointed that the Packers did not sign Randy Moss. Through agent Bus Cook, Moss and Favre had been anticipating a serious run for Moss to join the Packers. For Bret to have an offensive player with Moss’ record would have been, as Favre said, intimidating.
But Moss has this reputation of being a divider, being a bad locker room influence, and I think he showed it in this whole scene.
Yes, it would have been good if someone of Moss’ capabilities had been picked up by the Packers! Moss played that up with Bret, I’m sure.
What Moss didn’t say to Bret was that if a better offer came along, he’d take it.
How can the Packers this year compete with New England? GM Ted Thompson is in his third year and is still not a proven leader (although he has Koren Robinson coming off suspension in September, and still has a chance to pick up talent when the teams have to cut to the limit for the season) and the Patriots’ leadership has been in place and successful for the last half dozen years.
Brady will extend Moss’ career. With the Packers, Moss would have extended Favre’s career. For Moss, that’s a no brainer. And I think he suckered Bret. And I’m glad he is now New England’s problem.
