This cannot come as a surprise, but the Seattle Seahawks would like to part ways with veteran wide receiver…

The Vikings arrived in Mankato for training camp with big expectations.

Coming off a heart-breaking loss to New Orleans in the NFC title game, Brad Childress’ team appeared to be missing only one piece to the puzzle—and that was expected to be a short-term situation.

Brett Favre, who had joined the Vikings in mid-August in 2009, was again absent in late July when practices began but it was considered more of a charade than a reality that he was debating whether to play a 20th NFL season.

Otherwise, all of the Vikings starters from last season were back, with the exception being that cornerback Cedric Griffin wouldn’t be ready because of a torn ACL suffered against the Saints.

If everything went according to plan, Tarvaris Jackson, Sage Rosenfels and…

The NFL is hosting an online auction of signed memorabilia through the first week of the regular season to support the New Orleans Saints' Gulf Coast Renewal Fund.

The Minnesota Vikings made it official today, inking veteran quarterback Brett Favre to his usual .4 year contract for the 2010 season. The deal is very good for Favre, who will be payed $12 million dollars for only being with the team from September through the end of December.

The contract states that starting in January he is free to revert, as has become customary, from the form of a future hall of fame quarterback to that of your mother playing QB at the holiday touch football game. He also gets to bypass the annoying offseason routine and training camp activities.

“I am very excited about this deal,” said Favre at a press conference. “At my age, these unusual .4 year deals are the best. I can come in, play great in the regular season, and then throw some quick picks and send the team and myself home for the offseason. As you all know, for me, the offseason is what I really concentrate on nowadays. Will I come back, who should I text or tweet secret information to, practicing at various high schools. The offseason is what I really love, and with this short contract I can get the most out of it.”

Favre has been a rogue gunslinger the past few years, signing a .2 year contract with the New York Jets after being unceremoniously released from Green Bay Packers. He performed great for the length of that contract too, leading the Jets to the best record in the AFC for the first 2 months, before things went to hell once his contracted time was up.

The Vikings remain hopeful that Favre will resign with them once the playoffs start, but it’s looking doubtful at this time.
