So far the Fudgies are winning their game of chicken with "greatest competitor ever" and it is now pretty clear that he doesn't have a no-trade clause or is willing to waive it.  However, if he does have a no-trade clause, he will be able force his release or cause a lot of problems at camp.

I doubt the Bucs would even part with a 2nd. My take (if I were a GM) would be OK, I need a great QB now, we need to focus on winning now. I get on the horn and offer a #4 and pick up his contract. Thats the best we'll offer and set a deadline on the offer, then let it sit. The Pack will find out that is about as good as it will get. But Sheldon, you did hit an old thought I had "will Bucs and Vikes pull a swithcheroo and send BF to Minn via Tampa?" How that will roll in a 3-way trade could be the trick. Also, would GB brass put a no trade clause to NFC central teams if they are so dead set against Farve going to Minnesota? I just wish the season would start. I got a little fix watching the HOF game. I liked Brennon and Harts play. The Vikes would be fools to give up a #1 for a 38 yr old QB-I don’t care what his name is. I doubt the Bucs would even part with a 2nd.

What do you think the chaces of something like that happening?
