This is exactly what the Packers organization needed the most. Brett to do something to open the door, from here on out they are going to be able to push him out and not face a huge backlash. Will he go this year? Not likely, I can't see us trading him at all, but this helps us cut him in 2 years or so if we feel we have someone else at QB.
I love what they have done in building through the draft (Nick Collins, AJ Hawk, Greg Jennings, 3 starting OL, 1 starting OLB in past 2 drafts). We are getting younger on Defense adding DT Justin Harrell. Ted Thompson is the GM we needed so that we would build Defense through the draft, and develop the offense, which is far easier to do in the NFL than the other way around. If Brett doesn't realize that by continuing to build our defense they are taking more and more pressure off of him, then that's his fault. Would I have rather had Randy Moss? Sure, but I think TT may have played his cards right in that this upset Favre to request for a trade, and so now we have room to push him out if we need to.
