1. trade a 3rd or 3rd and player for Favre.
2. trade Garsizzler to Arizona where he would have a chance at the starting job (M.L. isnt who he was in college and K.W. wants alot of dough-could be a great place for sizzler.This would send Boldin to bucs-give em a pick also if needed(maybe pick it up from trading simms to DET of pick ?)maybe send Clayton to the desert for a fresh start....
3. start camp with Favre,griese and Luke.At WR- Joey,bryant and Boldin.
4.make plans for the superbowl....
Holy hell is this really happening ?!!?!!
