Looking intradivision, to a rival's highest salary cap player, trying to leverage that cap number against an outright release of a player with such sufficent worth that he would instantly become your starting quarterback, what is that worth? Forget that they also tampered with the relationship of an iconic figure to his historic franchise, but simply from a numbers standpoint how much is that worth?
I suggest that Favre in the open market would be worth at least as much as Jason Taylor, and perhaps more to a team with a particularized need. I suggest that trying to saddle an opponent with 12 million of cap obligation is a potentially aggravating factor. I believe that the appropriate penalty is to give the Vikings everything they were looking for. Send Favre to them for a high second or low first round choice (no lower than pick #40) and a subsequent 5th round choice. (this is Favre's fair market value) Then as a penalty make the Vikings give the Packers their next available third round choice. Also relieve Green Bay of Favre's contract number and saddle the Vikings with the full value of the contract for its duration no matter whether Favre makes the team, stays on the team, or not. Then simply hold up Favre's paperwork until after the season opener. Don't allow him to report until then, nor to have any contact with the team until then.
