Dream on, Bills fans
I was at my barber shop over the weekend and all the guys were dreaming of the possibility of Brett Favre coming to Buffalo. It's a nice fantasy for Bills fans to contemplate, but don't hold your breath waiting for that to happen. Acquiring Favre is one thing, but you have to take into account the salary the Bills would have to pay him. Favre is going to demand big bucks, probably more than the Bills can afford given they still have to take care of Jason Peters and Lee Evans, among others.
The Bills' situation is not that different from the Packers'. Like Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay, Trent Edwards has spent the entire offseason preparing to be the Bills' full-time starting quarterback. He's young and can wait another year, but his potential as the long-term solution would remain a mystery if he is sitting behind Favre for a year or more.
As my esteemed (and well-rested) colleague, Mark Gaughan, said in an earlier post, great quarterbacks are hard to find. Would the Bills consider Favre if the Packers let him go? You bet they would. I just don't see him in a Bills uniform.
