Viking player blows in Packers
The Minnesota Vikings have been implicated in tampering charges brought up by the Green Bay Packers. Now, the Packers are going to have to answer some question from National Football League commissioner Roger Goodell.
Vikings saftey Darren Sharper was a teammate of Brett Farve for eight seasons with the Packers. When responding to the question if he has had any questions with Farve, according to the Star Tribune, he said this, “Not that I can say on the record. I don’t have his cell phone. It’s Packer issued. They’re not going to let me have that number.”
The problem is that the Packers have not included the worth of the phone in the rest of Farve’s contract. Not disclosing that Farve had the phone to the league is a violation of the salary cap.
This is going to be a huge blow for the Packers. It means that they will have to forefit a draft pick for violating the salary cap.
The Packers should have shut up, never filed the tampering charges, and just cut, or trade Farve.
So, in the end the Packers will be team that is hurt the most by the whole Brett Farve saga.
Sometimes general managers just out smart themselves.
