Goodell: Vikings didn't tamper with Favre

NEW YORK (AP) - NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has ruled that the Minnesota Vikings did not tamper with Brett Favre in trying to get the quarterback to sign with them.

Goodell said that while there were conversations between then-retired Favre and Vikings coaches, that none of the conversations suggested Favre was soliciting a job or that anyone was soliciting his services.

In a statement, the Packers said they consider the matter closed.

"Based on the information that we had, the Packers thought it was appropriate to bring this matter to the league's attention," the team said. "We respect the commissioner's investigation of this matter and we now consider it closed."

The Packers had filed the charges, based at least in part between records of phone conversations between Favre and Darrell Bevell, Minnesota's offensive coordinator. Bevell is a former Green Bay assistant and a friend of Favre's.

Favre unretired and was scheduled to report to the Packers' training camp Monday.

We'll see.

A Jackson-led Vikings team the way it is right now will go far - far enough? I don't know... a Favre-led Vikings team would go to the Bowl, no question in my mind.

McCarthy and the Packers canceled the press conference that was scheduled for tonight to discuss Favre's future....

Sources are saying it's because they're still talking. Favre wants a solid commitment from the Packers, and if they're not willing to give it he wants either his unconditional release or a trade worked out to the Vikings. The Packers are pissed once again because they want Favre to understand that they're by no means willing to make a solid commitment to him for the year.

I see a trade to the Vikings happening within the next 2 days, if it's going to happen at all.

Asked what stories have been "planted," Favre alluded to the reports that said he waffled on un-retiring in late March or early April. He said that's "just not the way it went down, at all."

He also expressed anger with the stories that alleged he had a team-issued cell phone that showed the Vikings were tampering with him.

"Again, that was bull on both parts," he said.

"Then," Favre said, "they tried to buy me off to stay retired."

He added, "So they can say they welcome me back but, come on, the way they've treated me tells you the truth. They don't want me back, so let's move on. I don't know where it's headed. We'll see."
