Gruden mum about Bucs having any interest in Favre
Associated Press
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- While the Tampa Bay Buccaneers still aren't acknowledging interest in Brett Favre, coach Jon Gruden said little to dispel the notion on the first day of training camp.
The Bucs practiced twice at Disney World amid speculation Saturday that they and the New York Jets have emerged as possible destinations if the 38-year-old retired quarterback applies for reinstatement to the NFL, and the Packers can work out a deal to trade him.

Luke McCown and Chris Simms are among four QBs on the Bucs' roster. Is there room for one more?
General manager Bruce Allen was unavailable for comment, and Gruden shrugged off reports that Tampa Bay had been given permission to talk to Favre.
"You can talk to Brett yourself. If we have permission, I'm sure you do, too," the coach said.
"I don't have any reports on Brett, OK. I'm going to concentrate on (practice). There will be more opportunities to write stories on this situation. It's a great story to cover. I wish I had time to cover all the things going on. But I do like what we did today as a football team. His situation is going to handle itself."
Gruden reiterated that Jeff Garcia, who is not in camp this weekend because he's attending a reunion for the junior college team that his father led to a national championship 35 years ago, is the club's No. 1 quarterback.
The 38-year-old Garcia, who's been unhappy with the lack of progress on a contract extension, is scheduled to earn a $2 million base salary this year after leading the Bucs to the NFC South championship and making the Pro Bowl last season.
Four other quarterbacks -- Brian Griese, Luke McCown, Chris Simms and rookie Josh Johnson -- also are on the roster.
Gruden said he's not concerned about any impact the rumors regarding Favre might have on Garcia, who's expected to rejoin the team Sunday night and practice Monday.
"We are creating a real drama here. I don't know if it is that tear-jerking and emotional that we need to address it any more than we have," Gruden said.
"What we talk about is confidential. ... He is very confident in his own abilities. His game tape in the last 20 starts in this league proves he isn't afraid of anything, he understands pro football, and he is eager to get in here with his team and compete."
It was the second straight day that Gruden danced around questions about any possible interest the Bucs have in Favre, who is having second thoughts about the retirement he announced in March.

The Packers have said if he reports to training camp with them, it would be as a backup to Aaron Rodgers.
Gruden said he's comfortable with having four quarterbacks on his roster who have won games for the Bucs over the past three seasons. But when pressed the previous day on why he was unwilling to say the team has no interest in trading for Favre, the coach balked at an opportunity to squash the speculation.
"You could come out and say that, but I'm never going to be a guy who puts his foot down and says we're going to do this," the coach said. "It's not my No. 1 responsibility."
With Garcia in California for the first two days of camp, the remaining quarterbacks are splitting the workload.
Until the Farve situation arose, the most compelling story early in camp figured to be the status of Simms, the former starter who's missed most of the past two seasons after having his spleen removed.
Simms did not participate in voluntary workouts and minicamps with the team during the offseason and has said he'd like to be released because his relationship with Gruden is beyond repair.
"He's got a long way to go to get his rhythm back, and his timing, and getting acclimated to the speed of the game. He's been inactive for quite some time," Gruden said between practices Saturday.
The coach said there has not been much interaction between him and Simms since the sixth-year pro reported to camp.
"You know, we didn't exchange Hallmark cards or anything like that. We're trying to win football games. ... I'm interested in talking about anything, but I can't keep commenting on what he said and what I think," Gruden said. "I respect him a lot, I've had a lot of good moments with him and I'll just leave it at that."
Camp Notes: DE Greg White, a former Arena Football League star who led the Bucs with eight sacks and seven forced fumbles as a rookie last season, signed a one-year, $370,000 contract. ... WR Joey Galloway sat out practice with a mild groin strain. ... CB Jonathan Hefney was released.

Stalemate with Packers turns Favre's attention to Bucs, Jets
NFL.com Wire Reports
After two days of extensive meetings with Brett Favre, Mike McCarthy doesn't believe the quarterback is in the "right mindset" to play for the Green Bay Packers.
Matt Ludtke / Associated Press
Brett Favre left training camp before the Packers began practice on Tuesday.
But Favre might be in the mindset to play for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers or New York Jets. According the NFL Network's Adam Schefter, Favre spoke to both the Buccaneers and Jets on Tuesday to discuss a possible trade with one of the two clubs.
Meanwhile, McCarthy told reporters that he met with Favre for about four hours on Monday night and again Tuesday morning, leaving the discussions convinced Favre wants to play this season, but not for the Packers.
"The one thing I was looking for out of that conversation, was (whether) he (was) ready, committed to play football for the Green Bay Packers," McCarthy said. ". . . I don't want to speak for him, but based on where he is and the path that it took for him to get to this part, he wasn't in the right mindset to play here."
A trade could be coming next, with Tampa Bay re-emerging as a potential destination after seemingly being eliminated from consideration in recent weeks.
Packers officials have believed throughout the past month that Favre's preference is to play for the Minnesota Vikings, but Favre could reconsider a trade to Tampa Bay - or elsewhere - if Green Bay holds firm in its commitment not to trade him to a division rival. The Green Bay Press-Gazette reported on its Web site Tuesday night that Favre was willing to play for the Buccaneers.
Even with the chance to win his starting job back potentially on the table, McCarthy said Favre couldn't seem to get past emotional wounds that were opened as tensions mounted in recent weeks.
"The football team's moving forward," McCarthy said. "The train has left the station, whatever analogy you want. He needs to jump on the train and let's go. Or, if we can't get past things that have happened, I have to keep the train moving."
The train appears to be picking up steam with Favre being left behind.
Favre plans to remain in Green Bay until there is a resolution -- either a trade is completed or the Packers give him permission to return to Mississippi, according to Schefter.
Before Tuesday, Favre had refused to talk with the Buccaneers or Jets about a possible trade, even though the Packers had given his agent permission to talk to both clubs. But the developments since his arrival in Green Bay on Monday apparently has changed Favre's mind.
Besides McCarthy, Favre also met with Packers GM Ted Thompson, for an hour Monday night, and again Tuesday afternoon at Favre's Green Bay residence with members of the quarterback's family and his agant, James "Bus" Cook.
At one point during Tuesday's news conference, McCarthy was pressed why Favre wasn't currently the starting quarterback for the Packers.
"That's a great question," he said. "I think you need to ask Brett. I think it's pretty complex, as far as the way he feels, the chain of events, the path that we've taken to get here. But it's not as simple as No. 4 going out there and playing football."
Schefter reports that the Packers have placed Favre on the Declared Non-Football Injury List due to an existing lower abdominal injury he would have been forced to rehab at practice. Favre counts against the Packers' 80-player roster, but he will not be paid by the team.
Favre did not join the Packers for their only practice on Tuesday morning, the first session he was eligible to join the team after he was reinstated by the NFL and added to the active roster on Monday.

Minutes before what was anticipated to be his first practice since his reinstatement, Favre left Packers camp. He emerged from the Lambeau Field loading dock and proceeded to exit the stadium's back gate in a red sport utility vehicle at around 1:45 p.m. CT, approximately 15 minutes before the Packers' only scheduled practice of the day.
Cook told Schefter late Tuesday afternoon that "Brett Favre does not plan to retire." The Packers have also publicly stated throughout the ongoing saga that they do not intend on releasing Favre.
If the two sides hold true to those statements, the options for a resolution between Favre and the Packers appear limited.
Favre left Lambeau Field just before Packers practice Tuesday afternoon, taking a right turn out of the stadium's back gate and heading away from the field where the rest of his teammates were assembling for drills.
Favre emerged from the stadium's loading dock exit at 2:34 p.m. ET Tuesday, hugging Packers senior security advisor Jerry Parins before getting in his SUV and driving away. Shortly after, an SUV driven by Packers general manager Ted Thompson left the gate heading in the same direction.
"We're at a stalemate," Favre told ESPN Tuesday morning. "Mike and I both agreed last night that me being out there is a distraction and will continue to be a distraction. We all know the reason I'm here is because the commissioner reinstated me so we have a lot of things to figure out. It's simple and complicated, both at the same time."
Favre told ESPN he doesn't have a problem with competing with Rodgers for the starting job, and can "truly understand" why McCarthy would make Rodgers the starter. But Favre also said a competition "probably isn't going to work" and that "the problem is that there's been a lot of damage done and I can't forget it."
Did Favre not feel wanted or welcome enough by the Packers?
"That's part of the issue with him, quite frankly," McCarthy said. "And listening to him talk about that, you respect his opinion. And frankly, I told him, I said, 'I'll take responsibility because I have a voice in the building.' I never thought he truly was going to play. I thought he was emotionally driven for other reasons."
