布雷特·法弗（Brett Favre）承认对绿湾包装工队不愿完成外接手兰迪·莫斯（Randy Moss）的交易一事感到愤怒，但是否认希望被球队交易出去。

　　这是曾三次当选联盟最有价值球员的法弗缓解事态的一次尝试。5月12日，法弗在参加一场慈善高尔夫球巡回赛时接受了采访，抨击了球队管理层的行为。福克斯体育网在第二天的一篇报道中指出，法弗的经纪人在上个月的选秀结束后不久，即要求球队总经理泰德·汤普森（Ted Thompson）将其交易出去。

　　根据报道，汤普森拒绝了这一要求，球队教练迈克·麦卡锡（Mike McCarthy）终于安抚了法弗的不满情绪，后者也承认他并不想去其它球队。

　　法弗的经纪人"巴士"詹姆斯·库克（James "Bus" Cook）没有对此事发布评论。球队官员没有否认法弗的经纪人要求转会一事，汤普森不愿透露球队与球员的纪经人之间的谈话细节。他意识到此事令法弗倍受打击，但他同时希望包装工队在2007赛季能够获得成功。

　　球队在今年的赛季间隙期与几位核心防守球员签订了长期合同，其中包括角卫阿尔·哈里斯（Al Harris）、线卫尼克·巴尼特（Nick Barnett）以及防守前锋卡伦·杰金斯（Cullen Jenkins）。

　　不过包装工队是在自由球员转会大潮中行动最慢的球队之一，他们没有在上周末的转会中签下呼声很高的莫斯，使得法弗在密西西比州的图尼卡参加慈善高尔夫球巡回赛时对此大加抨击。

　　法弗在接受《太阳先锋报》采访时对球队错过签下莫斯的机会表达了失望之情，并且对球队在其退役后是否仍然具有竞争力表示怀疑。他曾在今年2月对球队宣称，他将归队参加个人的第17个NFL赛季。5月14日，他再次重申自己将留在包装工队。

　　包装工队的强制迷你营将于5月18日拉开帷幕，曾在2月下旬接受左踝骨刺切除手术的法弗是否参加目前还不确定。

MILWAUKEE （May 14， 2007） —— Brett Favre acknowledged his anger over the team's unwillingness to pull off a trade for wide receiver Randy Moss， but deniedhe ever really wanted the Green Bay Packers to trade him.

"I was frustrated a couple weeks back when Randy Moss was traded to New England，" Favre said on the Packers' Web site. "I never wanted to be traded and I don't want to be traded. I want to be in Green Bay. I want to finish my career as a Packer." It's an attempt by the three-time MVP to calm the maelstrom that started when he spent May 12 venting about the Packers' front office in a handful of interviews at his charity golf tournament. Fox Sports' Web site reported May 13 that Favre's agent called Packers general manager Ted Thompson shortly after last month's NFL draft to request a trade.

That request was denied， according to the report， and Packers coach Mike McCarthy eventually calmed Favre down and got him to admit that he never really wanted to play elsewhere.

"Sometimes when I get frustrated， I let my emotions got the better of me，" Favre said in the statement.

Favre's agent， James "Bus" Cook， did not return a call from The Associated Press.

Packers officials have not denied that Favre's agent requested a trade. Packers general manager Ted Thompson said he was not willing to divulge details of talks the team has had with players or agents.

"We try to encourage open and honest dialogue with players and their agents，" Thompson said， in a statement posted on the Packers' Web site. "But if those talks later are shared with third parties， the willingness of players to be open in future conversations may be compromised." Thompson acknowledged Favre's frustration， but said he expected the Packers to be successful in 2007.

"I think it's natural for a player to be frustrated from time to time —— that's simply being human，" Thompson said. "Everyone knows that Brett Favre is all about winning. As an organization， we share that commitment. And we want to win now." The Packers have signed several of their own key defensive players to long-term contracts this offseason， including cornerback Al Harris， linebacker Nick Barnett and defensive lineman Cullen Jenkins.

But Green Bay has been among the least active teams in free agency and did not pull off a long-rumored trade for Moss on draft weekend， spurring criticism from Favre during his charity golf tournament in Tunica， Miss.

Favre told the Biloxi （Miss.） Sun-Herald that he was frustrated that the team passed on a chance to make what he called a "steal" of a deal to get Moss， and wonders whether the Packers won't become a contender again until after he retires.

"Our offense struggled last season，" Favre told the paper. "If it were not for our defense， we would not have won eight games. Right now， it's hard to be optimistic. I'm not getting any younger and I think everyone knows that. I don't have five years to rebuild. No one in Green Bay is saying rebuild but it's hard to look at where we are going and say， 'How can they not be rebuilding？"' But Favre， who told the team in February that he was returning for his 17th NFL season， reiterated his commitment to Green Bay on May 14.

The Packers have a three-day mandatory minicamp beginning May 18， and it remains unclear whether Favre， who had surgery to remove bone spurs from his left ankle in late February， will attend.

"As I said in February when I announced that I was coming back， I am excited about the young talent on our team and the improvements we're going to see from one year to the next，" Favre said. "I really enjoy the young guys I'm playing with. I'm working hard down in Mississippi right now， rehabbing， and I plan to be in the best shape of my life. I look forward to playing with this team and seeing what we can do. I think we can be pretty good."
