    Jason La Canfora of NFL Network reports Brett Favre's reworked contract with the Minnesota Vikings has yet to become official in the NFL or NFLPA contract system, but league sources expect it to occur soon. Sources report that Favre will earn up to $3 million in a new signing bonus and he will earn another $4 million in new incentives based largely on the Vikings' postseason performance this season. With that in mind -- and given the structure of his existing contract -- Favre could cap his final NFL campaign by pocketing up to $28 million. When Favre signed with the Vikings before last season, $8 million of his $12 million salary in 2009 was deferred to the 2010 league year (March 2010 to March 2011). Within that window, the Vikings could end up paying Favre the full $28 million should they win a Super Bowl, and at least $24 million regardless.

    I freaking hate this butthole. He says it's not about the money. Then tell the Vikings to pay you the vet min and just play the season. Freaking money happy hypocrite douche bag.
