Vikings Have Not Set A Deadline For QB Brett Favre

Pat Kirwan said today on SIRIUS NFL Radio's "Movin' The Chains" that there is no deadline for Favre in Minnesota, contrary to what ESPN has reported. Kirwan's words carry weight on this subject because he is friendly with Childress and frequently has the Vikings coach on as a guest during the season. "I heard you talking about Brett Favre, every show has been talking about him. I've got a couple of things to say. First off, let me make sure I'm clear on this to everyone who is listening. There is no deadline for Brett Favre to come in by Friday. There is zero deadline. The story was made up, it's not true and trust me on that." Kirwan said. "Favre is on his way to Minnesota and it may be around July 15. It might be earlier. Remember how we said [that] first Step 1 is he healthy enough to play? He's in the process of having that resolved. Step 2, get a contract done. We don't think that's going to be a problem either so the first two hurdles are going to be easy to fly over and then come in and be part of this program. With the OTAs winding down, and maybe that's a good thing because he's not ready to throw, and all the business that goes on with football. Maybe it's better if he comes in at a quiet period of time and gets ready to roll. But I think you're right on it, I think he's on his way in. Friday may come and Friday may go and it will have nothing to do with him in a purple uniform."

Because Favre actually wanted to play for the Vikings last year but there was no way in hell Ted Thompson was going to trade him there.

Yea but giving him a deadline makes it sound like their his only option. I bet he could decide to come back in the middle of the season and the vikes would still take him.

I don't think Werder made the story up, he probably has a source within the Vikings that said there was a "deadline" or a date the team was hoping to get an answer...obviously, Kirwan has a different source, probably closer to the situation who says otherwise. I'm trusting Kirwan over ESPN 100% of the time.

Maybe someone in the Vikes Organization (who doesn't follow Brett Favre) thought they could float a "deadline" out there to put pressure on Favre...lol...
