REPORT: Vikings To Work Out Favre
ESPN has reported that the vikings plan to send someone down south to meet with Brett Favre and check out his progress since his reported surgery. The assumption would be that Vikings offensive coordinator, Darrell Bevell, would be the guy they send since he has a close relationship with Favre.
