Michael Vick would welcome Brett Favre as a backup
The end of the lockout could mean the beginning of a time-honored NFL offseason tradition -- Favre Watch.
Philadelphia Eagles starter Michael Vick added fuel to the fire started by a Philadelphia radio sideline reporter over the weekend, saying that he would be "honored" for Brett Favre to join the team.
After Howard Eskin of WIP radio tweeted that Eagles were interested in signing Favre as a backup after Kevin Kolb is dealt, Vick tweeted Sunday:
"I would be honored to have Brett Farve as a backup. That will be amazing Learning how to toy with defenses the way he did his whole career."
He has since deleted the tweet.
No word yet from Favre on a possible swan song in Philly. It would make sense for the 41-year-old to join up with Eagles head coach Andy Reid, an assistant with the Packers for nearly half of Favre's storied career.
