Around SBN: Watch Out For Cowboys UDFA Tim Benford

"Brett Favre began telling Vikings officials last night he will NOT return for a 20th season."

This may be it for Favre. Maybe.

The Star-Tribune is reporting that he texted teammates, "this is it." Reportedly, Favre's ankle is the reason for retirement. Assuming that the Tarvaris Jackson is now under center for the Vikings, this will hurt their team quite a bit.

The big eight quarterbacks in fantasy now becomes the big seven, making it a little bit more important to snag one. Obviously Favre's "value" at this point takes a huge dip. But, assuming you are drafting today, Favre should still get drafted--I don't think I'll fully believe Favre is out until the Vikings are eliminated from contention this year.

Sidney Rice, Percy Harvin and Visanthe Shiancoe's (and I suppose Bernard Berrian, too) value all should drop quite a bit too...we're talking about Tarvaris Jackson here.

I will add that I think Sidney Rice's breakout last year was more about him than it was Favre. Depending on how far he falls in drafts, he might be a nice value play. I still think he is a very good player.
