Packers welcomed back quarterback Brett Favre Sunday, although not with open arms would be clearly an under statement. Knowing full well that they've already taken the first step toward trading him to the Vikings. An executive in personnel for a team with close ties to clubs in the NFC North Division told the Journal Sentinel that the Packers called the Vikes on Friday informing them that Favre was available. "They've kind of said through one of their (front-office) guys that if Favre did report they would potentially trade him."
