I have never really seen him play, but considering what was traded to get him I am going to go ahead and read that as sarcasm.  Lions just needed to get some depth though, they have hardly any on the defensive side of the ball.  The starters on the d-line are looking good though with Vanden Bosch on one end with Cliff Avril on the other(young speed rusher that has alot of upside) and Suh in the middle.  If they start having players get injured though it will be another long season

Minnesota Vikings coach Brad Childress said quarterback Brett Favre will start in a preseason game against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night, just five days after he reported to the team.

Childress said Favre will play one or two series, then give way to Tarvaris Jackson.

Favre made his much-anticipated return to the Vikings on Tuesday. Following his first practice with the team Wednesday morning, Favre said he would like to play against the 49ers.

"I think there's no substitute for calling plays in the huddle in a real game environment, and the only way I'm going to get the speed of the game down is being in games," Favre said.

Childress also said wide receiver Percy Harvin will not travel with the team this weekend as he recovers from a severe migraine episode.

Harvin was hospitalized overnight Thursday after collapsing and vomiting at the Vikings' morning workout because of the debilitating headaches. Harvin was back with the team Friday, but he didn't practice.

Harvin has suffered from migraines for most of his adult life and missed significant practice time this offseason while dealing with the condition.

Childress also confirmed that wide receivers Brandon Jones and Javon Walker worked out for the team today. Jones was released by the San Francisco 49ers on Wednesday, and Walker played with Favre in Green Bay.

For Brett Favre, it might not be about the money. But he'll sure make a ton of it.

Favre's reworked deal with the Minnesota Vikings has yet to become official in the NFL or NFL Players Association contract system, but league sources expect it to occur soon.

Sources report that the 40-year-old quarterback will earn up to $3 million in a new signing bonus. He will earn another $4 million in new incentives based largely on the Vikings' playoff performance this season.

With that in mind -- and given the structure of his existing contract -- Favre could cap his final NFL campaign by pocketing up to $28 million. Not bad.

When Favre signed with the Vikings before last season, $8 million of his $12 million salary in 2009 was deferred to the 2010 league year (March 2010 to March 2011). Within that window, the Vikings could end up paying Favre the full $28 million should they win a Super Bowl, and at least $24 million regardless.

Had Favre retired, he still would have received the $8 million in deferred 2009 salary payments. On March 15, Favre received a $4 million deferred payment from his 2009 salary. The second $4 million installment is due Feb. 28.

Favre will receive his $3 million signing bonus when the new contract becomes official. He will earn an additional $13 million in 2010 base salary, which becomes guaranteed once he's on the roster in Week 1 as a vested veteran. Favre also has the $4 million in incentives as part of the new deal.

It's a substantial financial investment from ownership, and a sign of how vital Favre is to the Vikings' organization.
