Mark,
According to Favre in a televised interview, he and the Packers are not close to a new deal. Favre is not the one who wants to renegotiate, the team does. So I doubt that Favre has demanded 20 million up front. He is still under contract for a few more years.
As far as diminished skills, I beg to differ. I have seen every Packer game this year and his skills have not diminished. In some regards, I think this is one of his better years. His receivers are dropping balls left and right. His rookie tightend is lost out there. He is playing with two rookie tackles, his third coach in three years, and without Dorsey Levens who did all the little things right i.e. pick up the blitz, know where to be for the dump off. He has slowed down in terms of being able to avoid the rush. But make no mistake about it, without Brett Favre, this team wins three games at the most. IMO, he is still the best QB, and most reliable, in the NFL.
