I think the $20million all depends on 4's desire to be an ambassador for the GBP's. Correct me if I'm wrong but it's basically a personal services contract. He does however many personal appearances, attends this many games and the Packers get to continue marketing Favre jersey's. If he doesn't want to push the team I'd imagine the deal would decrease and they'd strike some sort for the jersey rights, both parties make quite a bit on them.
Isn't there some bad blood with the White family blocking the team from marketing 92 jersey's?

Exactly.. and the reason why the 20 Million dollar price tag should be discounted now. Simply put, Brett is not and will not ever be endeared like he once was in Green Bay.
Over the course of the past couple seasons, the value of the return income to the Packers has been damaged, and while it is his legacy to worry about.. it is the Packers dollars to invest.
Attending the game this season against the Vikes.. that value has eroded greatly.
Damn it.. sale on 11 foot poles I guess.
+1 for Dingus.
