The question as to what happens if the Jets trade him to Minnesota is still open to debate. I have read in many places that contrary to most initial thought, we would be owed those picks in the event of a trade to any NFC North team for the remainder of his contract. I have also seen the references that say the Jets can trade him without penalty this year. I lean towards the former, simply based on what I have read, but am by no means sure. Seems appropo not to know. :thumbleft:
I think the most interesting aspect of "will he or won't he" retire this year...the same one I contemplated on the day he was traded...isn't him retiring, but rather, if he announces he is retiring, how many are going to believe him this time? At a minimum, I can pretty much guarantee that David Letterman and co. will have some fresh material to work with the evening of an announcement.
I'm going to do a vikesrule on that day and bring my popcorn and just watch for once.
UPDATE---6:03 PM EDT Brett announces that these next two, three or four games could be his last... I just heard it on ESPN...
