QB Brett Favre (GB) - SOLD for 675 to the Predators (Matched by the Mutts)

Preds · April 1st, 2005, 12:08 AM

675

I think a raise is in order on his 2004 salary

Jake,

Please declare your intentions to match or take the compensation within 72 hours of the winning bid time.

Mutts · April 4th, 2005, 10:42 PM

I will gladly match. With Brett, there is little missed time and a chance every year that he finishes top 5. I agree he deserves a raise!

Preds · April 4th, 2005, 11:15 PM

I expected you to match.

Yet another player that seems to have sold too cheaply over the weekend.

Since you would have obviously matched up to 675, why did he only get a 4th round tender?

Probably to encourage lower bidding. Had he tendered Farve at 800, I still would have bid on him, and in the end Jake would've paid more. Not a bad play on Jake's part.

Yeah, I wanted to encourage lower bidding - but I also concluded that a 4th round tender is much more valuable than a 3rd round tender with the formation of the new practice squad. The chances of a player drafted at the end of the 3rd round making my team are basically zero. By tendering Favre a 4th, if I were to have let him go I would have ended up with 2 4th round picks this year and an opportunity to draft and evaluate 2 players for the right to join my practice squad.

Interesting strategy.
