Well, isn’t this nice

“I’m not going to put him in any box,” Childress said Friday at the NFL’s annual scouting combine. “Four weeks and change, he’s still healing up from that game [the NFC championship]. He’s kind of earned that latitude.”

Whether the three-time MVP needs a month or an entire offseason to determine whether to return for a 20th NFL season, Childress isn’t pressing the issue.

The Vikings don’t have a player the caliber of Aaron Rodgers waiting in the wings, which makes life easier. And Favre is old enough now that if the Vikings decided to draft a QB, it wouldn’t be a threat to his starting job.

Does any team have a bigger spread between its ceiling and floor for next season?
