The issue I have with all the Favre hoopla is this... Favre retiring one year and signing with a new team the very next year really nullifys any NFL contract. If the commisioner is willing to allow a player to retire out of a contract after a season and re-enter an entirely new contract with a differant franchise as a result of the retirement without any penalty, something is wrong with the league. Why wouldn't every dissatisfied star player do this? I'd expect recourse if I were owner of the New York Jets...
