Money issues holding up deal between Brett Favre and Vikings

Terez, what do you think of my new skinny jeans?
The longer it takes for the Vikings to announce that Brett Favre will be their quarterback next season, the more it appears that money is the holdup. The Vikings plan to put single-game tickets on sale Monday. Favre’s agent, Bus Cook, obviously knows that. He also knows if/when Favre’s signing is announced, the Vikings will reap boatloads of new cash in ticket and apparel sales. It’s clear that Cook and Favre have enough leverage to extract at least a $10 million deal for the coming season, assuming Favre remains healthy. Ultimately, it’s up to owner Zygi Wilf to determine Favre’s worth to the Vikings, who certainly are justified in offering an incentive-laden contract. Favre was paid $12 million last season by the New York Jets. If contract terms between the Vikings and Cook were right, the deal already would be done. – Pioneer Press
