Rams May Take Look at Favre : Pro football: Green Bay quarterback is given a “conditional” $20-million, five-year contract offer.

John Shaw, Ram executive vice president, said Friday the team has made a “conditional” $20-million, five-year contract offer to quarterback Brett Favre of the Green Bay Packers.

“It’s conditional on whether we decide to bring him here next week for a visit,” Shaw said. “We haven’t invited him yet, but we told his agent that if we do, it will be to try and sign him.”

The Rams, however, are not expected to invite Favre next week because they are working hard to sign Atlanta Falcon quarterback Chris Miller, who is their first choice. They also will meet with Phoenix Cardinal quarterback Chris Chandler on Monday.

“I don’t know about Chris Miller,” said Bus Cook, Favre’s agent, “but we believe we have an offer from the Rams. It’s not a written offer, but obviously the Rams know an offer has been made.

“We talked about the offensive setup there, and Brett is looking forward to playing in that system.”

Cook said Friday that he not only expects Favre to visit Rams Park next week, but that Favre’s family has met, discussed the team’s offer and has pronounced it acceptable.

Cook said the Ram offer includes annual base salaries of $3 million, plus a $5-million signing bonus. The bonus, Cook said, is prorated over the length of the contract at $1 million a year.

Cook told the New Orleans Times-Picayune Thursday that the Rams had presented Favre with an offer sheet and that it had been verified through the NFL office, but he added Friday that the club had not yet put the offer in writing.

“We still have to get down to the finer details,” Cook said, “but the numbers they offered us are very much in the ballpark.”
