Favre story creates stir

If Sam Farmer wasn't such a well respected name in the journalism, this story about Favre returning would be easier to ignore. Okay, it still seems a little far-fetched. But the editors at NBC asked me to come up with five teams who would be interested in Favre if he returned. So what if it's all in fun and none of it is particularly likely to happen. It's April!
Bucs
So what if Tampa already has six quarterbacks? Favre is better than all of them, knows Jon Gruden well, and fits the graying profile the Bucs usually go after.
Redskins
Dan Snyder loves to make a big splash. New Redskins coach Jim Zorn cut his teeth under Mike Holmgren, so the system would be an easy one to learn. Favre could serve as a short-term mentor to Jason Campbell.
Raiders
Al Davis seems to be gearing up for one final run, spending money as fast as possible. The Raiders have a lot invested at quarterback already, but Favre could let JaMarcus Russell slowly. The dysfunction and losing culture would presumably be a deal-breaker for Favre.
Eagles
What a way to end the Donovan McNabb era! Old buddy Andy Reid could reunite with Favre while deal McNabb to a team like the Vikings (who also would love Favre, but Green Bay would never trade in the division).
Baltimore
Favre could replace another aging former MVP in Steve McNair, while playing in the same town as Johnny U.

I can't think of anything more implausible (besides Chad Johnson shutting up)

I guess the two guys who commented are eating their words now. Happy to see my brother, Sam, vindicated!
