COMMISSIONER FINDS NO TAMPERING WITH BRETT FAVRE

Commissioner ROGER GOODELL today informed the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings that he had completed his review of tampering charges filed by the Packers against the Vikings and found no violations of league policy.

In his letter to the Packers and Vikings, Commissioner Goodell said that, while those involved acknowledged conversations between BRETT FAVRE and Vikings coaches, “None of those conversations suggest that Favre was soliciting a job or that other teams were soliciting his services.”
