They were forced to find out what it will be like without Brett leading the team and now at this late hour all bets are off. Green Bay sincerely wants to run with their new guy and see how the cards fall. I mean they used a kickass draft pick to snag him.. now they are more than ready to see what they got.
The reason they don't want him to get free agency is because his top pick teams are all GreenBay's top competitors (in the same conference no less).
The decision to retire is a big one, even bigger if you have had the career Farve has. IMO, Brett should have dug deeper BACK THEN and not pulled the 'I was pressured into my decision' card now.
Offering this 20 million is an interesting dynamic, as Brett has maintained all along this has nothing to do with money.

Laura, you really know what your talking about... woman talking football... wow... But for Brett, who gave everything to the NFL over the years earn the right to go where ever he wants go. They owe him that... If the packers finds that he's not there guy anymore, allow him what ever he wants. Don't insult him by dangling 20 M$ in his face to stay at home... i'm sure it's probably a first in the history of the NFL...
