The Oakland Raiders are trying to trade Randy Moss and the Green Bay Packers definitely are interested if the former all-pro wide receiver would agree to a restructured contact in order to play with a better team and Brett Favre. Sources close to the situation said the Packers had explored trading for Moss. The two teams have had preliminary dialogue but at this point the Packers consider Moss to be an economically unfeasible solution to their need for another receiver alongside Donald Driver and Greg Jennings.

Defensive lineman Cullen Jenkins has signed a four-year, $16 million contract extension with the Packers. The deal will pay Jenkins about $6 million in signing bonus, agent Cary Fabrikant said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press.

Packers quarterback Brett Favre had minor ankle surgery and is expected to recover in time for offseason workouts. Favre, who plans to return for his 17th NFL season, has been bothered for several years by a buildup of bone spurs in his left ankle. He kept putting off the procedure, and skipped out on a previously scheduled surgery Jan. 1. "The procedure went as expected and he is recovering at this time," Green Bay general manager Ted Thompson said in a statement. "We expect no complications and that he will be cleared to participate in offseason workouts similar to his schedule in 2006."

Former Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Koren Robinson must serve 90 days in jail for fleeing police last August, a prosecutor said. Robinson was sentenced in Nicollet County Court for leading officers on a high-speed chase this past summer from St. Peter to Mankato during Vikings training camp. Assistant county attorney Paul Tanis said Robinson will be on probation for three years. He also must complete 80 hours of community service and pay a $1,500 fine. Robinson is now with the Green Bay Packers.

Brett Favre will have ankle surgery in the next few weeks, and Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy says the three-time MVP will have plenty of time to recover for minicamps. The 37-year-old quarterback was supposed to have surgery on his left ankle the day after the season, but skipped it and had yet to reschedule. "Yes, we're looking to have it done ... in the next couple of weeks," McCarthy said.

Green Bay fans are clamoring for the Packers to trade for Oakland wide receiver Randy Moss, who turned 30 this week and is presumed to be available. But there has been almost no internal discussion of Moss by the Packers. The trading period opens March 2 but, at this point, the Raiders appear almost in complete disarray.

Cornerback Al Harris has three years left on his existing contract. Now it appears he has more than that. The Wisconsin State Journal reported on Tuesday that Harris signed a two-year extension with the Packers through 2011. Financial terms were not disclosed, although Harris told the newspaper that the extension contains two roster bonuses totaling $4.5 million.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre will return for the 2007 season, he told the Sun Herald in an exclusive interview Friday morning. "I am so excited about coming back," he said. "We have a good nucleus of young players. We were 8-8 last year and that's encouraging. "My offensive line looks good, the defense played good down the stretch. I'm excited about playing for a talented young football team." Favre informed the team about his return Friday morning.
