Interesting. When I wrote that, I don't think this info had come out yet(or at least I hadn't seen it) but thanks for the link.

According to the link that Brwill posted, the Packers included poison pills to all NFC North teams. Here's the exact quote:

Quote:

Not only did the Packers block the Vikings from trading for Favre, but they also have done the same to every team in the NFC North, Schefter reports. If the Jets were to trade Favre to any NFC North team, they would have to give Green Bay three No. 1 picks. And Green Bay didn't even stop there. The trade also includes provisions preventing a trade to another team if they were to trade him to the NFC North.

Interesting. Either Glazer was wrong or I misunderstood what he was saying.

I was planning on going back and editing in "head coachs very own" but it was 4 in the morning or so and once it occurred to me I was already drifting off to lala land.

Maybe now it'll be easier to lure away Chad Pennington to also fight for the Niners starter spot

Pennington is going to be released.

ESPN is reporting that the Dolphins have contacted Pennington's agent. I also heard something this morning about the Chiefs and maybe the Bears (may have just been speculation). I think Pennington is a step up for any of those teams.
