After watching the whole press conference I can say that Favre is one reflective dude. I’m thinking in about 5 years he’ll be Steve Young but more down-to-earth. And as far as my comment on the whole thing, I can’t eulogize or insult him. He was Favre.

On the same day that the Panthers got 3rd and 5th round picks from the Jets for Kris Jenkins, the Lions have received similar picks from the Bengals for Shaun Rogers.
Michael Smith and John Clayton at ESPN.com have the story, and this seems to be the going rate for DT’s. Look for the Jags to get similar action (maybe from the Bills?) for Marcus Stroud.
The move comes a day before a $1mil roster bonus was due to Shaun Rogers, no word on if the contract will be re-done or not.
Other Bengals priorities include re-signing Dhani Jones (Eagles fans everywhere laugh).

Per PFT.
Adam Schefter of NFL Network reports that the Minnesota Vikings have worked out an agreement with free-agent safety Madieu Williams.
The deal for Madieu is six years, $34 million.
He’s expected to sign the contract when he arrives in Minnesota later today.

Only rumor at this point, but Jason La Canfora has the scoop.
Apparently the deal is set to go off at midnight:01, and Corey Williams will go to Cleveland along with another unnamed player.
It’s unknown what the Pack will get.
UPDATE: Packers will get a 2nd round pick. Cleveland will have no first-day picks unless Derek Anderson signs with someone else and the Browns get a 1st and a 3rd in compensation. Props to PFT on the tip.
