Mike Francesa may be pushing the idea of a trade that lands Brett Favre with Dan Snyder’s club but David Elfin of the Washington Times is hearing otherwise.

In an article today, Elfin quotes multiple sources who think that there’s little chance of Favre playing quarterback in Jim Zorn’s West Coast offense. One thinks that if Favre is traded it will only be to an AFC club while the other says that “there’s zero chance. Why would you do that for one year? I think Brett plays in Green Bay or he doesn’t play.”

There’s a contrasting view offered, however, which revolves around Snyder’s fondness for making a big splash when it comes to acquiring players. Would he be able to resist the biggest ticket item to come on the market since he bought the team? Elfin spoke to yet another source who indicated that the Packers’ dream scenario is one pitting Snyder against Falcons owner Arthur Blank in a bidding war for Favre’s services.

Snyder’s penchant for the big move and Zorn’s offensive scheme mean that the Redskins make sense as a destination for Favre. The wildly divergent viewpoints, however, mean that no one’s got a clue about how this whole mess is going to end up.
