The Facts:
Packers president Bob Harlan is poised to strip coach Mike Sherman of his general manager duties and pursue Seattle vice president of football operations Ted Thompson, a former Packers personnel official. as his next GM. Harlan would have to get permission from the Seahawks to interview Thompson, but the Seahawks cannot prevent him from interviewing or taking the job if Harlan offers Thompson full authority over the football operation.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
It remains to be seen how Harlan's decision affects quarterback Brett Favre, who has not committed to playing next season yet. Assuming Sherman stays to fulfill the final year of his contract, Favre might be willing to stick around to see whether the new GM can fix the defense and make a run for the Super Bowl next season.
